Kindergarten Curriculum
Kindergarten students are immersed in a rich and hands on curriculum focused on meeting the needs of all learners. Our expert teachers spend their days filling the hearts and minds of our students with daily phonics, reading, math, science and social studies lessons. Children attend daily rotating specials classes including enrichment, music, art, physical education, and library.
We are a 1:1 District and our students are issued an ipad at the start of the year as just one more tool to aid in their learning.
