Academics
Grade School
Grades 1 to 6, taught in small classes that keep every child known and challenged.
- Ages
- 6 to 12 years (Grades 1 to 6)
- Schedule
- Full day, five days a week
Age ranges and session schedules are indicative and must be confirmed by the school.
Grade School is where the academic program becomes substantial, and where progressive teaching is most often misunderstood as less rigorous. It is not.
Children here write at length, argue from evidence, solve multi-step problems, and sit real assessments. What differs is that they can usually tell you why they are doing it.
A day here
What the day is made of
Core academic blocks
Language, Mathematics, Science, and Araling Panlipunan taught in sustained blocks rather than short fragmented periods.
Extended projects
Each term includes an investigation children plan, research, and present — the main vehicle for research and presentation skills.
Targeted practice
Daily short practice on the things that must become automatic: number facts, spelling, handwriting, reading fluency.
Class meetings
Children raise problems affecting the class and work out solutions with their teacher. This is where responsibility is actually learned.
By the end
What children can usually do when they leave this level
Children develop at different rates. These are the markers we watch for, not a checklist every child must hit on the same day.
- Writes structured paragraphs and edits their own drafts
- Solves multi-step problems and explains the method
- Plans and carries out an investigation with minimal help
- Reads for information across subjects
- Disagrees with a classmate without it becoming personal
