If you were to visit and walk through our Elementary School wing, you would see curious young learners in classrooms – little fingers learning to cut paper, faces with brows furrowed in concentration as they form shapes that become words, and celebratory smiles when they find the sum to a new math problem. You would also see teachers working alongside students as they reach these daily accomplishments, hardworking and committed teachers who are thoughtful, and aware of individual student needs.
Our desire for elementary students is not simply for students to complete assignments and engage in activities, but to see themselves as artists, thinkers, writers, and mathematicians. We encourage students to begin to know themselves and to become interested and invested in their own learning by teaching them the skills needed to be lifelong learners.
