CORE CURRICULUM

LAYING THE FOUNDATION WITH

MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

Monday through Thursday students will focus on core curriculum content.

Core curriculum refers to foundational English language arts, math, science, and history. This takes place through a combination of whole group, small group, and independent learning. This primarily takes place throughout the morning.

Core days also include project based learning units, passion projects, and/or independent learning units.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS

We heed what research says on how the brain learns to read and therefore offer a structured phonics and morphology program. Learning sounds, patterns, structures, and meanings does not happen by chance.

We also offer direct writing instruction focusing on grammar and composition.

Reading comprehension is addressed through literature units, which also includes integrated science and history texts. This gives students the opportunity to authentically engage with high quality, rich texts.

MATH

We prioritize math curriculum that not only teaches necessary skills, but also logic and problem solving. We ensure that students have opportunities to develop critical thinking skills in all subjects.

SCIENCE AND HISTORY

Science and history texts are integrated into literature and project based units to intentionally connect student learning across subjects.

Students will also experience hands on STEM learning.

PBL, PASSION PROJECTS, & INDEPENDENT LEARNING

All of these types of learning opportunities put the students in control. Students are expected to meaningfully engage with their learning in order to problem solve and create.
