Primary Class offers the kindergarten child a full day of learning and discovery. The program balances formal instruction in language arts and mathematics with less structured learning opportunities in small groups and activity centers. The work is challenging but effectively paced, with time set aside for rest and a snack. The ultimate goal of the Primary year is to develop in each child a love of learning.
Highlights of the program include:
- A low child-to-teacher ratio, with an average of 14 children per homeroom
- A positive and loving school environment
- A unique and intimate program within a larger school community
- Learning the behaviors of successful students: participation, organization, task completion and responsibility
- The use of centers to support individual learning and cooperative interaction
