ELEMENTARY PROGRAM 

 

The elementary student is ripe for the bigger concepts, more abstract thinking, and greater connection of ideas that this plane of development invites. The role of the teacher is to strike the imagination...and bring the child into this new world of learning.

The Sunrise Elementary program offers individualized instruction and discussion-oriented lessons, covering math, language, botany, zoology, geography and history. Children develop a solid mastery of material in these core areas. Physical education, fine arts, music and Spanish are also important aspects of the curriculum.

 

The development of concentration and time management empowers each child with a sense of responsibility for his own learning. The multi-age classrooms allow students to serve as tutors and role models for one another, reinforcing both academic and social skills.

 

The sense of community and self-esteem flourish as students care for their environment and work together to establish rules to solve group and individual problems. These experiences are all steppingstones toward developing an understanding of and responsibility toward the local and world communities. Upon graduation from elementary, Sunrise students easily make the transition to middle school. Proudly, confidently, they step out into the world with the skills and desire to learn, make good choices and contribute positively throughout their lives.
