Elementary School (SES - 4th grade)
An integral part of elementary school is our STEM/MINT program.
Starting in mathematics, important skills such as problem-solving thinking, explaining strategies and documenting are taught in fun elementary school lessons.
From School Entrance Science (SES) through 4th grade, our students explore natural phenomena in our environment with delight, creativity, and a great spirit of inquiry in their science classes.
In 4th grade, our young STEM/MINT learners receive science instruction in the state-of-the-art science building from elementary and secondary school teachers in team teaching lessons.
In extracurricular courses students collaborate in science projects in teams of different age groups and varied topics. Learning from other students in a given field is highly encouraged.
