Curriculum at its best empowers students gradually to make choices related to their own learning, to experiment, and to develop more fully the habits and skills necessary for lifelong learning.

   Our children use the scientific method to make discoveries about the world. The child who drew this observed the sun shining through a classroom window; made a hypothesis about how the sun reflects off a mirror (prism) to form different rainbow patterns throughout the room. After testing her hypothesis and coming to a conclusion about light reflection this student represents her theory in an artistic form using watercolors and felt tip markers.



Through play a child learns to care for oneself and others.



Respectfully speaking up, listening and conflict resolution skills are strongly emphasized in the Early Schools.
