Elementary Class

1



Children of Elementary age are generally characterized by their inquisitive minds, high creativity and imagination, and a boundless need for discovery. They form their knowledge and their view of the world by evolving from the concrete concepts to the abstract experiences (source – AMI).

Elementary-aged children (ages 6 – 12; grades 1st – 6th) want to expand their understanding beyond the simple and concrete; they want to use their imaginations – an extremely important tool of learning. Elementary students start questioning the world around them, with significant focus on nature and society – the fabric of our most fundamental concepts and needs.

Our curriculum includes all the core subjects: Math, language, geography, geometry, sciences, history, sociology, government, art, music, foreign languages, among many others. Additional enrichment subjects such as culinary skills, specialized subjects, research projects, community service projects, field trips and such are also an integral part of the curriculum.

During the Elementary years, children also develop appropriate accountability for their studies and work, record-keeping, time-management, responsible behavior and other important and healthy living habits.

Even though our academic standards and placement rank significantly higher than traditional Schools, our elementary curriculum conforms to State guidelines for each grade level.

Children ages 6 to 12 years (1st – 6th graders) want to transcend the concrete and use their imaginations – a very powerful tool of learning. Students at this age begin to question deeply the world around them, focusing intently on nature and society.

Language, mathematics, geometry, sciences, geography, history, government, sociology, music, art, community service programs and field trips are all part of the curriculum. Children learn adequate study habits such as record keeping, time management and taking responsibility for their behavior and studies. Students also participate in various community service projects throughout the year.
