| Elementary |

Our academic goals for our elementary students are to develop
a genuine love of learning and to foster a capacity for original
thought. The curriculum is exploratory, integrative and challenging.
We follow and enhance the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks
including English, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, and
a foreign language. In addition, we teach art, music, drama,
geography, technology, and physical education.
Our elementary program affords the opportunity for substantial
flexibility in addressing the individual needs
|
| of each student. To
enable this, the class sizes are kept small with a maximum of
10 students in a class. Children are grouped according to their
age and ability level. An important aspect of the curriculum
is theintegration of various academic subjects around a particular
theme. This instills a strong academic base, a cultural appreciation,
and an environmental awareness. The curriculum is enriched by
guest speakers and by field trips to the extensive natural and
community resources available to us. |

Programs and Extended Care |

Our
elementary students have the opportunity to participate in
our afterschool clubs which is part of our enrichment program.
We offer structured age-appropriate activities including academic,
creative, recreation and sports. For more information about
our clubs see our posting to the right.
For
families needing a longer day we also offer extended care
hours. Before school care begins at 7:30 a.m. and after school
care is available until 5:00 p.m.
