Language Arts – our curriculum is designed to keep students reading at grade level or above. Through regular assessment, we work to place students in the appropriate literacy classroom designed to build on each learner’s strengths and to shore up any weaknesses.

Writing – our curriculum centers on content, process, and product. This manifests itself in particular in writing. At this level, we are encouraging young writers to develop their “voice” and to produce writing that introduces characters, develops drama, and produces a solution.

Math – we use the Go Math curriculum. Designed to equip students with a strong foundation in mathematics, topics are covered in depth and taught to mastery.

Science – gifted students need flexibility and they find it in a science curriculum that builds on fundamentals in earth science, physical science, and life sciences. Students are encouraged to develop higher level questioning and reasoning skills.
