Organization of Grades

Our Upper Primary program aims to explore content, skills and dispositions that are appropriate for each child’s maturity level. The continuous progress model is adapted to each individual. The school attempts to accomplish two things – (1) to find out where each child is in his/her academic learning and (2) in what manner a child learns best. Through use of a variety of teaching materials and approaches, teachers develop programs that will inspire and provide children with successful learning experiences. The programs may include large and small group work, individual work, remedial instruction and/or enrichment. Progress is monitored regularly through a wide array of assessment strategies, some of which are student created. As new skills and knowledge are acquired, children may deepen their learning experiences by engaging in small group and independent projects.
