Our optional classes run from 9:15 - 2:15 one day a week during the school year. Students arrive and have their regular classes in the morning where they fit into one of four classes based on age. Morning classes are focused on the current year expedition, taught by our Education Supervisor Teachers. In the afternoons students rotate through Enrichment classes: Art, PE, Drama, and Garden. Below are examples from our Culture expedition year.
Tk - K
Our focus is on what is our personal culture, from the basics of what do I look like and what are my favorite foods and animals to how to be a great friend.
1st Grade - 3rd Grade
Our focus is on examining our personal culture, the culture of our community, and the vast and rich cultures around the world
3rd Grade - 5th Grade
We start the year with family culture as our base for understanding the role we play in community. Then, we look at community culture and its roots in ancient civilization. Later, we take a closer look at ancient civilizations through the lens of how they have shaped our community.
Middle School
Our focus for middle school is examining our own personal cultures, exploring Ancient civilizations, and learning more about current cultures in today's world.
