Powered by AMP/edu

Our school is powered by the AMP/edu ecosystem — a unified, modern learning platform that strengthens classroom instruction and enhances every student's learning experience. AMP brings together curriculum, tools, and resources in one cohesive system, helping teachers deliver engaging, consistent instruction and giving students confidence with a well-supported, high-quality education.

Core Subjects & Electives

Electives allow students to explore interests and develop strengths beyond the core curriculum. These courses nurture creativity, character, and deeper learning.

English Language Arts

Our English Language Arts program develops strong readers and communicators by blending classical texts with structured instruction in grammar, vocabulary, and writing. Students build foundational skills through phonics and early literacy, then deepen their understanding by analyzing fiction and nonfiction. The classical approach emphasizes the spoken and written word, helping students express themselves clearly and thoughtfully.

Math

Our Math program focuses on mastery and reasoning at every grade level. Students begin by developing fluency in basic operations, then progress to more complex problem solving. Through direct instruction and practice, they build the confidence and critical thinking skills needed for future success in mathematics and beyond.

Science

Students explore life, Earth, and physical sciences through observation, inquiry, and experimentation. Our science curriculum encourages curiosity while helping students develop analytical skills. Technology-enhanced tools like Smartboards and Chromebooks support hands-on exploration and deeper understanding.

Social Studies

Social Studies connects students to the world around them through lessons in history, geography, and civics. They examine key figures and events, learn how communities function, and explore their roles as citizens. Lessons are framed to support critical thinking and a respect for diverse perspectives.

Performing Arts

Through dance, music, and theater, students develop self-expression, confidence, and collaboration skills. Theater productions give them a chance to shine while connecting the arts to academic learning.

Fine Arts

Hands-on art activities foster creativity and support fine motor skills, observation, and imaginative thinking.

Character Education

Character Trait Training uses the Character Counts!® curriculum to help students understand and apply values like respect, responsibility, and fairness in everyday life.

How We ACCELerate Learning

Our school is built on a strong foundation of high expectations for academic achievement for all students. Within our classical framework, we implement the ACCEL Instructional Model (AIM) which focuses on four key components to achieve strong academic results:

Individualized Instruction

Students participate in a variety of learning activities each day that individualize instruction for each subject area. Students receive whole-class instruction, small group instruction, and individual instruction with teachers, technology and other curricular tools.

Properly Certified & Licensed Teachers

Our teachers meet the requirements set forth by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA): Bachelor’s degree, grade-level teaching license/certificate & ability to demonstrate subject-area expertise. Our teachers are supported by trainers and participate in continuous, research-based professional development. Our teachers are accountable for student learning and rewarded for high-quality performance.

More Time on Task

Our students receive double the instruction in ELA and Math to provide a strong foundation for all learning. Beginning PreSchool, our school also follows a longer school day and school year than many other schools.

Short Cycle Assessments & Data-Driven Instruction

Student knowledge of academic standards is assessed formally and informally in short cycles by each teacher. Our teachers adjust class-level and individual instruction based on student performance in these frequent intervals.
