Elementary Level

The goal of the Elementary Program is to encourage children between the ages of six and twelve years to widen their interest in the world around them, and facilitate their understanding of how to work constructively with others.  The children’s newly emerging powers of reason and imagination enable them to explore and discover on a more abstract level.

The curriculum for this age group is outlined and introduced to the children with five “Great Lessons” that address the (i) universe, (ii) evolution of life on Earth – and history of (iii) humans, (iv) mathematics, and (v) languages.  These presentations are given in story form and inspire the children to seek answers to their own questions through independent research. 

The children develop an appreciation for – and an eagerness to be a part of – our world and community.  Students delve deeply into the subjects of geography, mathematics, language, history, ecology, biology, zoology, music, and art during these six years of study and exploration.  Individual and group presentations from the teacher, as well as focused one-on-one instruction, prepare the students for each succeeding year in accordance with national academic standards.
