As time goes on they begin to read specific books to focus on certain aspects. They read “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” to learn about summarizing, and “Tuck Everlasting” to learn about story elements and tools of persuasion. By high school the students are exposed to courses in English Language and Composition and English Literature and Composition as well as advanced classes in each English class.
The Mathematics program is set-up so that each level builds upon the previous one. They begin with geometry basics in kindergarten by learning to identify two- and three-dimensional shapes. Then the students learn to identify different types of triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons and cubes. In the fourth grade the students begin working with Accelerated Math which individualizes math and allows close monitoring of progress.

Chalk Talk: Developing Math Skills
Math is a subject that will be used throughout a child’s life, however, some students seem to have problems understanding math’s concepts. While shopping, cooking, or working on a craft, demonstrate how mathematics helps to get the job done. If a child has problems with multiplication, show how multiplication is repeated additions, so 3 x 4 is the same as 4+4+4. Another way to help the child is to allow them to play with their food, as they manipulate items to show sets of things and how this can be translated into math equations. With a little creative thinking, children can see that math is more than just facts to learn!
