Curriculum
We follow the U.S. Common Core Standards for grades K-2, and we do so in a highly engaging and authentic way. For example, instead of doing a worksheet of math story problems about buying items at a store, we walk to the grocery store down the street and solve real life applications of those same problems using the prices of items on the actual shelves. For ages 3-5 we follow the early learning goals from the UK standards, and we also draw from the Massachusetts birth-kindergarten standards, which closely align with the U.S. Common Core standards, and are considered the best in the U.S. We assess our students' progress frequently, and communicate that progress regularly with families both informally and formally.
