Curriculum
PreK On My Way
Transitional Kindergarten
Our TK program uses the PreK on My Way research-based curriculum, supporting the whole child through meaningful, engaging, and developmentally appropriate learning experiences. Throughout the program, children strengthen their social-emotional skills while building a strong foundation in language, literacy, and math. Through hands-on activities and exploration, children grow across all domains of learning, developing the confidence, curiosity, and skills they need to thrive in kindergarten and beyond.
HMH Big Day
Transitional Kindergarten
English Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Math
HMH Big Day uses a research-based approach to help children acquire social-emotional development. Big Day supports intentional and integrated pre-kindergarten instruction with engaging tools that help children develop oral language, emergent literacy, and social-emotional skills.
HMH Into Reading & Writing
Kindergarten through Fifth Grade
HMH Into Reading uses high quality books that intrigue and challenge students. Offering a balanced approach to literacy instruction, HMH Into Reading uses engaging reading and writing workshops that help strengthen students' critical skills. The curriculum has a strong emphasis on productive annotation and guides students as they transition from emerging readers to effective writers.
HMH Into Math
Kindergarten through Fifth Grade
Understanding the “why” behind the “how” is an important part of math. HMH Into Math focuses on both conceptual understanding and procedural practice. Students must first develop their reasoning before they connect their understanding to concepts and skills.
HMH Into Science
Kindergarten through Fifth Grade
Into Science provides a coherent, phenomenon-driven storyline; delivers three-dimensional learning; and incorporates the Claims, Evidence, and Reasoning model.
TCI Social Studies Alive
Kindergarten through Fifth Grade
Social Studies Alive! uses hands-on activities, engaging stories, and interactive lessons to bring social studies to life. Students begin by exploring themselves, their families, and their school, then build outward to their community, the regions of our country, and America's past. Along the way, they develop map, reading, and critical thinking skills and learn what it means to be a contributing member of their community.
Positive Action for Christ
Transitional Kindergarten through Fifth Grade
Transitional Kindergarten will learn about the wonders of Creation to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the Father’s glorious love along the way. Kindergarteners will learn more about God’s work and character as they study the lives of major Bible characters. First graders will learn about the many gifts given to us by God, including the ultimate gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. Second graders learn that when God gives a command, He also gives a promise. Third graders will learn about the lives of Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, and Daniel and that they can teach us much about the rewards of living for God. Fourth graders will learn our lives are like castles that God can build into strong and beautiful monuments to His grace. Fifth graders will learn that just as God desired His people to possess the land of Canaan, He desires His children to live in a spiritual realm of promise and victory today.
