We foster the practices and principles of Quakerism as an experiential part of school life, focusing on the testimonies of Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Stewardship, and Equality.
Students develop strong reading and writing skills using a comprehensive and inclusive Reader’s Workshop and Writer’s Workshop model. Teachers incorporate Fundations Curriculum – Wilson’s Language Training into a blended approach that strengthens phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. Literature circles allow students to read independently, analyze, and gather meaning from the text. Students blossom from writing simple sentences phonetically to becoming authors who can write using a variety of genres. Students practice reviewing, editing, and publishing their work and celebrate becoming authors.
Teachers incorporate Bridges in Mathematics to help students develop a deep understanding of mathematical concepts and solid proficiency in recognizing number patterns and decoding to solve problems. The students deepen their knowledge by discussing methods and strategies with their peers.
Social Studies seeks to create informed students globally and locally to develop a sense of responsibility and power in upholding and applying the Quaker Testimonies worldwide. The curriculum centers on five main pillars: economics, geography, history, service learning/citizenship, and culture.
The environmental and life science program seeks to expose students to an interdisciplinary collection of subjects that includes weather, biology, geography, the natural environment, and solutions to environmental problems.
A comprehensive program that nurtures our students’ love of the outdoors. Weekly creek instruction, outdoor inspired curriculum, and our own garden and composting areas.
