The focus of our math program is understanding mathematical concepts and building mathematical fluency through a mix of hands-on instructional approaches and reinforcement through our selected math curriculum (Math Mammoth). Teachers offer spiral reviews and fluency activities daily, then introduce new concepts. Math Mammoth is mastery-oriented and focuses strongly on conceptual understanding. It features visual models and exercises and offers an emphasis on mental math and number sense. This curriculum features full explanations of concepts that are included in the student books and blends newer math approaches with traditional methods, making it an easy-to-follow program for students and their supporting parent. Students will be placed in the math cohort and workbook that best aligns to their current working skillset in math.

Our structured literacy program continues into third and fourth grade, offering students sequential and explicit OG-based instruction in decoding, encoding, and syllabication, plus added emphasis on morphology. At this age, students begin a more robust learning in grammar (Spectrum Language Arts or Evan Moore) and vocabulary (Word Wisdom).

With strengthening reading and writing skills, elementary students are now able to "read to learn" and “write to convey meaning.” Teacher-curated literature, novel studies, and informative text selections (Word Wisdom, Science-based texts, etc.) create the framework deeper understanding and comprehension of more complex texts. Our composition curriculum informs students on the mechanics of writing the common essay types, and serves as a springboard to writing more complex, content- or interest-based writing projects using the Schaffer Method. A specialized creative writing class is offered on Fridays.
