Our Early Childhood Programs are specially tailored to address to developmental and learning needs of students at each age.
Our Pre-Kindergarten and Grade One Preparatory classes utilize The Creative Curriculum® to ensure our students’ learning opportunities are maximized throughout the day. The Creative Curriculum®, a comprehensive, research-based curriculum, features exploration and discovery as a way of learning, enabling children to develop confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical-thinking skills. Classroom activities and teaching strategies are connected to research-based objectives for development and learning, enabling each child to find their own individualized path to success. The Creative Curriculum® is based on 38 learning objectives for development and learning that focus on all the areas that are most important for school success: social-emotional, cognitive, math, literacy, physical, language, social studies, science and technology, and the arts. These objectives are built into every activity that happens in the classroom, engaging children in purposeful play, building on their natural, curiosity and helping them to build skills of observation, connection, problem-solving, and communication.

AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES PROGRAM
Even with the most stimulating, hands-on classroom curriculum, there are only so many hours in a school day for students to participate in engaging activities with their classmates and grade-level peers. This is where our after-school program comes in. Our After-School Activities program is designed to provide students with opportunities to engage in organized group activities that allow them to develop talents, learn new skills, socialize, strengthen friendships and make new friends outside of their class and grade level.
Activities are led by our national and international teachers in their areas of expertise and allow students access to a variety of activities in athletics, arts, culture, and technology. Our program offerings change throughout the school year so students can engage in a variety of activities.
