Academics

A K-5 program with strong foundations.

Every subject, from kindergarten readiness to fifth-grade independence, builds on reading, writing, and math - taught in small groups so no child falls behind.

What We Teach

Core subjects, every day

Reading & Language Arts

Phonics and fluency in the early grades; literature study, writing, and speaking by the upper grades. Daily reading is non-negotiable.

Mathematics

Number sense and math facts first, then problem solving and real-world reasoning. Small groups let students move at the right pace.

Science

Hands-on experiments, nature study, and inquiry. Students learn to ask questions, test ideas, and explain what they discover.

Social Studies

Community, geography, Kansas history, and American civics - taught through projects, maps, and stories that make the past feel present.

Art & Music

Creative expression woven through the week: painting, drawing, singing, rhythm, and a winter program families are invited to attend.

Physical Education & Play

Daily recess plus structured movement teach cooperation, sportsmanship, and healthy habits kids carry beyond elementary school.

By Grade

What learning looks like

Kindergarten

Letters and sounds become words. Counting becomes math. Songs, games, and read-alouds build the habits of a happy learner.

  • Phonics and sight words
  • Numbers to 100 and shapes
  • Fine-motor and writing readiness
  • Routines, sharing, and listening

Grades 1-2

Children turn into readers. Math moves from counting to computation, and students begin managing projects with growing independence.

  • Fluent reading and comprehension
  • Addition, subtraction, place value
  • Beginning writing and spelling
  • Teamwork and classroom responsibilities

Grades 3-5

Students deepen every subject and prepare for middle school: research, essays, multi-step math, and leadership in the school community.

  • Reading to learn across subjects
  • Multiplication, division, fractions
  • Research reports and presentations
  • Mentoring younger students

How we measure growth

We share progress through regular report cards, parent conferences, and a portfolio of each child's work. Because classes are small, assessment is personal: we know what each student is mastering and what they need next, and we talk to parents about it throughout the year.

  • Progress reports each term
  • Parent-teacher conferences
  • Work portfolios and graded samples
  • Daily communication for families who want it
