At the elementary school level, we focus on building a strong academic foundation, fostering a love for learning, and nurturing essential skills and habits that will benefit students in the long run. A comprehensive curriculum is a cornerstone of this preparation, offering engaging coursework in core subjects such as math, science, English, and social studies to ensure students are well-prepared for the challenges of middle school. Additionally, elementary schools emphasize the development of time management, and organizational skills, alongside strong reading comprehension and writing abilities.

Rigorous teaching and learning at the elementary school level is characterized by a vibrant and engaging educational environment where high expectations and active participation are the norms. In alignment with our Core Instructional Model, rigorous instruction involves Lesson Design, incorporating clear learning objectives, differentiated strategies, and meaningful assessments to monitor student progress. During lessons, teachers use active, student-centered instructional structures (WICOR) that encourage critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving. Additionally, teachers analyze evidence of learning collected during their lessons to ensure that they continuously reflect on and refine their practices through data tracking and analysis, collaboration with peers, and effective communication of progress. This comprehensive approach ensures that students are not only meeting but exceeding academic standards, preparing them for future educational challenges.

At the elementary school level, we support the success of our students by implementing a multifaceted approach. We integrate AVID strategies, promoting skills in Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading (WICOR), to foster a strong academic foundation and empower students with essential tools for success. Additionally, our targeted interventions provide personalized support for students who need extra help, ensuring that no student falls behind. We also build intentional support time into our schedule to address individual student needs. This holistic approach ensures that all students receive the comprehensive support they need to excel academically and personally.

At the elementary school level, our character education program is designed to develop engaged, ethical, and responsible citizens. Starting in Pre-Kindergarten, students are introduced to essential character traits such as honesty, respect, responsibility, and empathy, fostering a strong moral compass and positive relationships with their peers. As they progress, students learn about the importance of being an active member of their community, emphasizing collaboration, diversity, and civic engagement. They participate in service projects and community-building activities, understanding the value of helping others and contributing to society. Through various classroom activities and discussions, students cultivate communication, problem-solving, decision-making, and teamwork skills. This comprehensive approach ensures that our students develop a deep sense of justice, fairness, integrity, and ethical responsibility, preparing them to be thoughtful and engaged members of their school and the broader community.
