Elementary Academies

Elementary school is the foundation for all educational experiences. It provides valuable academic, social and emotional skill development to prepare students for middle school while also introducing a profound sense of community and collaboration.

Our youngest learners have a unique opportunity to explore the world outside of the classroom by visiting local cultural and historical organizations.  These opportunities are for students in preschool through fifth grade and are called Essential ExperiencesSM.   Each experience is directly connected to classroom learning, deepens connections to their community, drives curiosity, and exposes students to career possibilities.

In 5th grade, scholars participate in a summative experience called The Amazing Shake where Portrait of an Elementary Scholar skills are brought to life.  Through a series of fast-paced, tiered events, students showcase their confidence, communication, and critical thinking as they demonstrate and defend their readiness to shine in middle school and beyond.
