Curriculum
Elementary Programs
Our academic program is based on the Fayette County Public School Curriculum, and uses the same textbooks as well. With our small class sizes we are able to focus on developing and advancing the individual needs of each student, above and beyond the set curriculum.
English Language Arts (ELA)
Students learn a well rounded approach to English by having daily dedicated time to spelling, grammar, reading fluency, and reading comprehension. Language Arts is also incorporated into other subjects such as Science and Social Studies, to help students understand its importance in all subjects.
Mathematics
Using the step-down approach, students are taught the guiding principles and slowly made proficient in each successive mathematical concept. Students use Common Core Standards, manipulatives, base-ten drawings, and real world scenarios to help deepen their understanding.
Sciences
Engineering Design and Scientific Method are covered in depth at every grade level, as well as grade level appropriate Life Sciences, Physical Science, Earth and Atmosphere, and environmental studies.
