6 to 9 years

Grades 1-3



Young elementary children are fascinated by stories: stories of animals; stories of the origins of things; stories of heroic accomplishments. They love to ask big questions. Much of the lower elementary curriculum is designed to help children explore their natural questions about their place in the world. The story, geography, biology and physical science curricula examine broad concepts and provide a framework for more abstract and in-depth study in later years.
