A Typical Day
Our students attend school from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. daily during the school year.
In Kindergarten and first grade, our students are actively
engaged in the structured, sequential, research-based and
multi-sensory approach to instruction we use to lay the
foundation for academic readiness. Our small class setting
(8–10 students in a class with a teacher and one assistant) and language-rich classroom equipped with an FM sound field system and SmartBoard enables us to focus on concept development (spatial, temporal, quantitative, tonal),
phonological development (manipulation of sounds through activities) and large and small muscle development. In addition to math and language arts, our Kindergarten and first grade students enjoy Physical Education, Art, Music, Library, Science and Social Studies.
Our students in grades 2 – 8 spend half the day in a whole
group setting and half the day in a small group setting. In the
whole group setting (12 or fewer students with a teacher and
an assistant in classrooms equipped with a FM sound field system and SmartBoard), the students enjoy Science, Social Studies, Physical Education, Art, Music, Social Skills and Mind That’s Mine© (a Mel Levine program where they learn how they learn best and are taught strategies to help compensate for their weaknesses). Students focus on Math and Language Arts (phonics and comprehension) in small group settings with two to four students per instructor.
