The Insights and Foss Science Programs and Investigations in Numbers, Data and Space Math Program provide students with hands-on investigative methods to explore math and science.
The students are instructed in English Language Arts using the Lesley Balanced Literacy Program. Small group and individualized instruction are provided to help children become competent readers and writers. Additional support programs include Fundations Phonics for grades one and two and LANGUAGE!, an alternative reading program for grades two, three and four.
Teachers work cooperatively to analyze school-based assessments together with state and district mandated testing to tailor instruction to meet the academic needs of each child.
