Unit of Study

In K1, the Units of Study showcase the interrelatedness of all curriculum areas; the Units are primarily grounded in science and humanities but are a holistic blend of literacy, mathematics, art, and more. This integrated approach supports students in acquiring important learning skills, along with an understanding of the investigative process.

Units are launched by questions that connect to the K1 conceptual understandings found in the College Curriculum. Student inquiry is then incorporated and supported by classroom teachers. Teachers develop lessons and activities to provide hands-on experiences, designed to help students discover the answers to their questions and wonderings. By valuing the questions of our youngest learners, and working in collaboration with them, we set the stage to create a life-long love of learning.
