We have found a mix of different curriculums that fit what our students need. We know that not every set of curriculum is one size fits all and neither is a students learning. We have intentionally grouped together what has worked well and formed our own structure that will grow with our students from Kindergarten to 8th grade! We provide assessments as needed to place a student right where they are in a particular subject. It is important that students don’t have gaps in their learning, so we don’t go by the traditional “grade” placement, rather by the level of learning a student is at. If a student needs to go to another class to be taught at the level of their understanding, they can! We also know that students learn at different speeds, so if a student needs to be moved to a higher level, we place them where they will be challenged.

Staying Active
We encourage our kiddos to get active everyday!
We have partnered with PHIT America and NY Road Runners who support our program by incentivizing our kids running, moving their bodies and staying active. This has helped our students during their class time! Last year, our kids received play equipment from PHIT America and brand new ‘New Balance’ shoes from NYRR.
