UPPER ELEMENTARY HYBRID
*3rd - 5th Cohort
Our upper elementary program offers students a step forward in their academic journey. Our philosophy to academics at this age is "quality over quantity.' Many programs emphasize heavy work loads and excessive rigor, leading to stress, anxiety and burnout. Our program carefully ties both conceptual learning with skill development to ensure we fulfill the standards, while providing meaningful and engaging assignments that appropriately challenge students, building not only strong academics, but confidence and self-esteem. Targeted skill development in grammar, reading, and spelling is fostered through intentional programming using an Orton-Gillingham based approach and other carefully selected curriculum which allows us to indivdualize expectations and work load for each child. Our unique, program-curated "ELAISS" method (English Language Arts Integrated with Social Studies and Science) opens deep learning opportunties as concepts in Social Studies and Science drives topical learning and serves as a springboard for meaningful skill application in ELA. Families in all pods are welcome to join our "2nd Friday Family Field Trips" where we venture offsite to local venues such as a museum, nature center, play space, farm, etc. Please see the calendar for specific dates. *3rd graders applying to this cohort must be academically advanced
MIDDLE SCHOOL HYBRID
6th - 7th Cohort
Personal changes and challenges abound within this unique age-group, which is why, for many students, a small, supportive, community-oriented  environment better supports overall academic development and mental health than a traditional setting.  Without the external pressures of huge classrooms, endless homework, and all too often, bullying, our students experience boosts in the confidence and self-esteem needed to be successful learners throughout the middle school years. Our middle school program focuses on the core values of character, community, collaboration, and conservation. Academically, we meet students where they are, tailoring each student's expectations and work load to meet their personal challenge point and allowing them options for acceleration or recovery. Flexible seating, engaging instruction, hands-on learning, and ample social and enrichment opportunitiies make learning pleasant and...dare we say...enjoyable!
STEAM
FULL STEAM AHEAD
3rd - 8th
We are taking things "full STEAM ahead" in these science-focused classes! What do 5 E's, STEM Challenges, Inquiry Labs, and an "Escape Room" all have in common? They are all part of our Full STEAM Ahead curriculum! Using the 5E Model of instruction (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate), students will take deep dives into scientific investigations that go beyond the traditional school text book. As a group, they will investigate anchoring phenomenon in life, physical, and earth science concepts. They will participate in exciting labs and STEM challenges, get a little crazy in the kitchen (or maybe outdoors!), and will need to complete an "escape room" review to demonstrate their competency in the subject at hand!
