Elementary students are eager to engage with and apply tremendous amounts of knowledge. They are increasingly curious not just about the “what,” but about the “how” and “why.” They are discovering just how capable they are, navigating an increasingly complex social life, and building friendships that could last for a lifetime.

Lower and Upper Elementary students are beginning to try to understand their place in the world. They are becoming more abstract thinkers, curious about the moral and physical laws of the universe around them. Topics are integrated to give a broader view of concepts and learning approaches. Children advance at their own pace, not limited by age or group levels. Students take increased responsibility for their learning goals.

In grades 4 through 6, students are provided with meaningful opportunities to practice critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills, and to participate in experiential learning—helping to ensure their academic preparedness as they transition successfully into selective middle schools.
