Core subjects

English Language Arts

Classes are delivered by native English speakers and certified teachers that challenge our students to rise above expectations. Using Pearson materials our teachers use best teaching practices and differentiated instruction to target education specific to each student's needs. All of our English Language arts classes are equipped with interactive white boards that provide other forms of instruction to enhance students' learning.

Math

Mathematics is delivered by our Math specialists who focus their instruction on the academic needs of the students while continuing to teach grade level content. The goal in mathematics education is for our students to:

• Develop fluency in basic computational skills.

• Develop an understanding of mathematical concepts.

• Become mathematical problem solvers who can recognize and solve routine problems readily and can find ways to reach a solution or goal where no routine path is apparent.

• Communicate precisely about quantities, logical relationships, and unknown values through the use of signs, symbols, models, graphs, and mathematical terms.

• Reason mathematically by gathering data, analyzing evidence, and building arguments to support or refute hypotheses.

• Make connections among mathematical ideas and between mathematics and other disciplines.

Science

In grades 1 through 5 our students are introduced to science, this subject is taught so that students have the opportunity to build connections that link science to technology and societal impacts. Science, technology, and societal issues are strongly connected to community health, population, natural resources, environmental quality, natural and human-induced hazards, and other global challenges.

 

Elective Subjects

Other courses offered as electives: Social Skills, Physical Education and Health, Music, Art, French, Computers, Drama.

Teaching methods

Using best practices, our teachers deliver instruction based on the students needs and learning styles. Each student is valued and the education is differentiated to meet all of our student’s needs. We also have the services of our resource teacher who works with students that need the extra support and have been identified by their English teachers.

 

Technology

In the classrooms delivered through the use of interactive white boards that allow teachers to present and engage students in the learning process.  We also have a fully functioning computer lab with interactive software and engaging curriculum delivered by our highly qualified technology teacher.
