Kindergarten

Our kindergarten curriculum focuses on developing foundational skills that prepare students for later learning in the areas of math, science, social studies, and language arts. Understanding the alphabet and reading comprehension is a primary instruction in Kindergarten. Children begin to develop writing skills with guidance by using a combination of drawing, storytelling, and writing to convey an event or share an opinion. Kindergarteners learn to count to 100 by ones and tens and write numbers from zero to twenty. They are introduced to life science, physical science, earth science, and space science. Introduction to foreign language incorporates songs, drawing, coloring, and cultural visual aids.
