3rd - 5th Grade Curriculum
English Language Arts
During this time, student's comprehension switches from learning to read to reading to learn. As fluency improves, they apply comprehension skills, write more complex texts, draw conclusions, and develop grammar skills. Teachers follow state standards and ELA best practices to support instruction.
Math
Students expand their knowledge of addition, subtraction, and place value to include multiplication, division, and fractions. Our curriculum promotes critical thinking and deep math understanding through visual models and real-world problem solving.
Science
Children's interest in science and engineering grow as they explore life, physical, earth, and space sciences. They apply learning to real-world technology and engineering while developing communication and collaboration skills for future success.
Social Studies
Before middle school, children expand their understanding of the world by studying American democracy, government, economics, and history. They explore state and U.S. history, from indigenous communities to the Revolutionary War, and learn about global countries and continents, connecting the past to the present while recognizing similarities and differences in communities worldwide.
