Elementary Program (K-4)

We seek to achieve this goal by:

• Following an innovative and sequential learning program that is consistent with standardized assessments, common core state standards (CCSS) and next generation science standards (NGSS)
• Having a diverse and experienced faculty who support the mission and vision of the school and is dedicated to ensuring that all students excel and thrive academically and socially.
• Placing emphasis on active learning through exploration, experimentation and discovery, which enhances the skills of design thinking, independent thinking, critical thinking, and problem solving.
• Meeting the learning needs of all students using varied teaching methods, technology tools, learning centers, and flexible grouping.
• Promoting a love for reading and building of literacy skills through extensive classroom libraries, bi-weekly library visits, author visits, mystery readers, and an annual Read Across America Day Celebration.
• Imagining, designing, creating, and building in the school’s Makerspace
• Scheduling stimulating field trips that enrich the curriculum and extend the joy of learning beyond the classroom walls
• Exposing students to the arts: fine art, music and drama
• Living and learning Islam on a daily basis in a real-world setting
• Garden-based learning in the Peace Garden as well as other spaces around the school that support a deep understanding of the environment and sustainability
