Elementary school introduces students to a "Cosmic Curriculum", an integrated approach to human relations through language, math, science, social studies, art,
and music.

It places an emphasis on learning the valuable life skills of research, critical thinking, decision making and problem solving, and in doing so moves children from concrete to abstract learning.

This approach fosters competency and mastery of skills through repetitive, successful experience while minimizing failure, and develops social awareness on local and global levels. The intent is to create a miniature community in the classroom where children are responsible for their own behavior and learn to observe the school rules necessary for a peaceful and harmonious coexistence.

Elementary school enrichment activities include Spanish, computers, music, art, yoga, physical education and creative movement.
