As part of our commitment to fostering active and informed citizens, Civics for All is embedded into our curriculum. This ensures students develop a strong understanding of democracy, civic responsibilities, and the importance of community engagement. Through hands-on activities, discussions, and real-world connections, students learn how to become thoughtful, empowered participants in society.
Students also engage in rigorous and inquiry-driven science instruction through Amplify Science, a hands-on, phenomena-based program that encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and real-world application. This curriculum, aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), helps students develop a deep understanding of scientific concepts while fostering curiosity and exploration.
Students build strong foundational skills in mathematics through Envisions Math, a comprehensive program emphasizing problem-solving, conceptual understanding, and real-world application. By engaging in interactive lessons, visual models, and hands-on activities, students develop critical thinking and mathematical reasoning skills that prepare them for future success.
