Our Curriculum
Our curriculum is vibrant and designed to teach academic content through play. Teachers use a combination of resources to meet the students needs. We use hands on activities to reinforce what is taught. There is a strong emphasis on using classroom games as a method of teaching.
The curriculum has the following goals:
