Our math curriculum is a comprehensive approach that aims to teach problem solving and conceptual understandings.  Investigations 3 is a K-5 inquiry-based math curriculum.  Students actively explore mathematical ideas to develop understanding and fluency. They collaborate, investigate, and take part in problem-based learning.  Students also participate in group Number Talks and Exemplars.  Number Talks and Exemplars were developed for classroom teachers to engage students in “mental math” through grappling with interesting mathematics problems. 

We use Amplify Science curriculum to create an interdisciplinary approach to science.  Students learn science concepts through hands-on explorations, experiments and inquiry studies.  Science studies incorporate reading, writing, math, engineering, and more for interdisciplinary, project-based work.

PreK & 3K Students are encouraged to explore and learn through purposeful play. Activities are developmentally appropriate and designed to meet each individual child's interest and curiosity. Using the Creative Curriculum as a guide, our students lead their learning through inquiry.  Students learn how to become citizens of a community as they observe, create, question, negotiate, and develop their language and decision making skills through interdisciplinary units of study.

All 3K and PK students have access to our enrichment classes including Music, Art, PE and Engineering.
