Seedlings 

Early Elementary — K–1

Building strong foundations through curiosity, movement, play, and connection.

 

Our Seedlings program focuses on the foundational skills young learners need to grow with confidence. Learning experiences include phonemic awareness, early reading, handwriting, number sense, hands-on math, introductory science and social studies, communication, social development, and growing independence.

At this age, learning shouldn't mean sitting at a desk for long periods. Instruction is intentionally short, interactive, and engaging, using manipulatives, visuals, movement, games, stories, sensory experiences, and play-based exploration.

Learners are encouraged to move, ask questions, create, experiment, practice, and try again while developing the routines and confidence that prepare them for increasingly independent learning.

Focus Areas: Early Literacy • Foundational Math • Handwriting • Science & Discovery • Social Studies • Communication • Social Skills • Movement • Independence

Sprouts 

Grades 2–3

Growing skills, confidence, curiosity, and independence.

Our Sprouts are beginning to transition from learning foundational skills to using those skills to explore, understand, and engage with the world around them.
 

Learning experiences focus on reading fluency and comprehension, written expression, addition and subtraction, early multiplication and division, hands-on science, social studies, and project-based learning.

As learners become more independent, we also intentionally build organization, executive-function skills, communication, peer collaboration, problem-solving, and responsibility into the learning day.

Lessons remain engaging and hands-on, incorporating games, manipulatives, experiments, projects, movement, creative activities, and opportunities for choice while gradually encouraging learners to take greater ownership of their work.
 

Focus Areas: Reading & Comprehension • Writing • Math Foundations • Science • Social Studies • Projects • Executive Functioning • Collaboration • Independence

Blooms 

Grades 4–6

Growing deeper, thinking bigger, and taking ownership of learning.

Our Blooms are ready to stretch their skills, explore ideas more deeply, and take greater ownership of how and what they learn.

Learning experiences focus on reading comprehension, written expression, multiplication and division, fractions and higher-level math concepts, science and social studies, research, problem-solving, and interdisciplinary projects.
 

Learners have opportunities for longer learning blocks, independent and collaborative projects, research, presentations, discussion, and real-world application of academic skills.
 

Beyond academics, we intentionally strengthen the skills learners need as they grow—including executive functioning, organization, communication, self-advocacy, collaboration, decision-making, and independence.
 

Our goal is to help each Bloom develop confidence in understanding how they learn, recognizing what supports work for them, expressing what they need, and becoming increasingly independent learners.


Focus Areas: Reading & Analysis • Written Expression • Math • Science • Social Studies • Research • Projects & Presentations • Executive Functioning • Self-Advocacy • Independence
