Each grade level explores a different, adventure-filled theme to keep students curious and engaged!




Artwork: a child scuba divingCritical thinking and problem solving are two skills taught throughout Elementary Math. Rather than leaving students to ask, “When will I use this?”, key concepts are taught with real-world applications so connections are made early on. Songs, rhymes, videos, storybooks, and audio are used to teach and practice math skills in a fun and engaging way. Kindergarten–Grade 2 focuses on building a strong number sense, addition and subtraction within 20, place value, measurement and shapes. Grades 3–5 introduce multiplication and division within 100, fractions, decimals, shapes, area, and volume.

Students will go back in time and learn about the foundation of American citizenship, journey to regions within the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean Islands, and dive deep into the history of the state in which they live.

Students will develop their observational skills as they learn how to critique art while making cultural connections with works from around the world.
