Welcome to the Elementary Program

Elementary Program

The kindergarten through 5th-grade elementary program celebrates both languages, ASL and English, ensuring that our students learn, grow and belong. 

We provide learning opportunities that builds on each child’s strengths.  We aim to develop our students’ critical thinking skills, independence and advocacy skills through collaborative learning opportunities.    We emphasize the process of learning.  Through active involvement in student-centered classrooms, our students develop life-long skills.  We tailor our curriculum to ensure our content considers our students’ bilingual language development in ASL and English. 

We provide opportunities for our students to grow through a whole child approach.   Our teachers work closely with a team of support staff, including a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) coordinator, counselors, Speech Language Pathologist and behavior support to ensure every child receives the support they need to succeed in the classroom.  We work on SEL skills throughout the day, teaching students how to be a good school family, managing emotions and solving problems effectively.  We also work closely with other service providers such as the Occupational Therapist and Physical Therapist to provide support when needed.

We aim to create an inclusive environment for every child and family.   We recognize that a sense of belonging and connectedness is essential for learning.  All families are welcome.   We aim to ensure our curriculum is reflective of our community and world.
