Students attend classes on Mondays and Tuesdays. They are dropped off at 9:15am and the school day begins at 9:30am. The school days follow a traditional format where students receive subject- and grade-specific instruction from a teacher, in a classroom. Each day also includes time for recess, breaks, and lunch. Students are picked up at 3:30pm.
We follow a traditional school-year calendar, with classes beginning in August and ending in May. We observe seasonal and holiday breaks throughout the school year.
We have carefully selected a systematic curriculum plan so that students can receive instruction in core subjects and have the steps necessary to build upon each subject as they progress in grade level. Our curriculum has also been selected to be able to be used by any student, even if coming from a different academic background. We meet with students prior to enrollment to assess level placement and set individualized goals for each student. Please click here to see our curriculum overview.
Unit tests will be given in some subjects so parents are attuned to where their student is academically and know what needs to be focused on at home. We will regularly assess student skills and provide feedback to both parents and students. We do not issue report cards but can assist parents in creating a gradebook and report card template to be used at home if desired.
The amount of time spent on lessons at home depends on many factors, including family size, your student’s age and maturity, learning style and speed, and family dynamics. For at-home days, we suggest the following as a rough total estimate:
3rd Grade: 3 to to 5 hours
4th Grade: 4 to 5 hours
5th-6th Grade: 4 to 6 hours
Parents assume the role of “co-teacher.” During class days, our teachers introduce new concepts and provide a checklist for each subject that parents use at home with their student. In the role of teacher at home, parents should plan to spend time in each lesson with their student, giving additional instruction where needed. We encourage parents to actively participate in the curriculum by reading novels and using curriculum teacher manuals as a tool at home.
