TMES 6 - 9, Lower Elementary Program

The Lower Elementary is comprised of ages 6 to 9 years of age, grades 1 through 3.  We currently have seven classes serving these grades.

Curriculum-

Designed around the broad interests of the elementary child, the six to nine-year-old program offers an enriched and exciting integrated curriculum that is sequential and cumulative. Language and math are core subjects that are integrated throughout the entire program, and all subject areas are presented in complement to each other. Great lessons involving the Time Line of Life, geography, zoology, and botany are presented to stir the imagination as they unveil the concept of order in the universe. The program goals are to develop within the child a sense of self-worth, respect for others, and a quest for knowledge.
