Curriculum

We take a new approach to our curriculum as well. In addition to learning ABCs and 123s, our students learn how to learn, and love it! Monthly themes become weekly topics, but our proven methodology remains the same: through a process of inquiry and dialog, we encourage our students to ask questions and form a bigger picture. We encourage young students to take action, start to identify problems and practice creating solutions. Children from a few months old to the age of 5 are learning how to discover the world around them, interact with it and make positive changes in their own universe.

Weekly subjects include Social and Cultural Studies, Mathematics, Science, Philosophy, Foreign Languages and Computer, while daily instruction takes place in Art, Music, Kinesthetics, Reading and Writing.

We aim to meet the needs of all types of learners each day: auditory, visual, audio-visual, logical, kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, tactile and verbal.

Each class becomes a community of inquiry in which students are encouraged to explore, discover, encounter, create and question all around them. Children are taught the procedures needed to self-correct behavior and thought. Independence, empathy and awareness are emphasized in all activities and through the presence of younger and older children in the program.

Philosophy for Preschoolers

Teachers have undergone training in philosophy for children. We have weekly themes that tie into our uniquely designed reading materials encouraging children to look more closely at the world and question all they can. Through this process of inquiry and dialog, children learn to learn, learn to think and learn to live. All of these storybooks will be available for purchase upon publication.

English as a Second Language

Our teachers have extensive training and experience teaching ESL. Parents of ESL students can find confidence in knowing their children are exposed to the most proven strategies in second language acquisition. All students will benefit from the enriched experience of having multiple cultures and languages present in the classroom.

Foreign Language Instruction

All students receive weekly instruction in Spanish, Italian, German, and Japanese, with local language programs offering onsite after-school camps in French, Chinese, and Spanish.
