Description
The morning and first part of the afternoon are focused on the core instruction of language arts and math.
Three days a week in the afternoon we have a multi-age Community Time class for grades 1-5, which provides an opportunity for social problem solving, caring, sharing and decision making in a multi-age setting.
Four days a week in the afternoon we have multi-age project-based instruction in which students investigate open-ended questions and apply their knowledge to produce authentic products. Students choose from a menu of project-based learning classes. Project classes are engaging, rigorous and student driven with an inter-disciplinary approach that blends reading, writing, science, social studies and art with complex thinking skills into 12- to 16-week course.
