Program Hightlights

We learn new knowledge by building on what we already know. Students in Core Knowledge schools know a lot, because they are offered a coherent sequence of specific knowledge that builds year by year. Core Knowledge provides a broad base of knowledge and a rich vocabulary. It motivates students to learn and creates a strong desire to learn more and provides the knowledge necessary for higher levels of learning and helps build confidence.

For parents, Core Knowledge also provides a clear outline of what children are expected to learn in school. It encourages parents to participate in their children's education both at home and in school. Four day week. Fridays reserved for Teacher Development, Parent -Teacher conferences, private and group art, music, drama,  clubs and lessons and monthly field trips.
