Academics

The elementary years of school are critical to future academic success. Students in grades four through six participate in an academic program specifically designed to meet their needs. Our students read to learn, express their thoughts through writing and critical thinking, and become active problem solvers who can make sense, reason and model their understanding. Children are engaged in inquiry-based thinking through the disciplines of science and social studies and experience numerous encore offerings and electives that provide a well-rounded education. In addition to student’s core academic classes and Encore offerings, our students have RAM time and Explore time. Ram time is designed to provide differentiated and targeted instruction based on students’ needs in ELA and Math. Explore time is designed to allow students to explore their interests through clubs, ensembles, neighborhood meetings and team-building time.

Explore Time Programs

Explore Time provides an opportunity for students to be involved in an activity outside of their Biome/classroom. Explore Time takes place from 8:40 am – 9:10 am on an assigned day (Days 1-5). Students not participating in a club will remain in the homeroom/biome to continue receiving academic support.
