Upper Primary Homebase: 2nd - 4th Grades
Our Upper Primary program is a multiage learning environment. This homebase is composed of Second through Fourth Graders. Students come together for community related moments such as Morning Meeting, goal setting, Project-Based Learning, and enrichment classes. Students are differentiated and leveled for Core Skills based on readiness. Online applications are utilized to further support and tailor individualized instruction. Students are guided by two Co-Teachers, - one regular education certified instructor and one special education certified instructor.
