Curriculum
In the elementary school grades, children bring a passion for learning to school. The Advent School’s challenging academic program, a motivated peer group, and the thoughtful support of our teachers inspires students to push their thinking further.
At Advent students are immersed in a strong, integrated curriculum. We teach them to expect connections within their learning and to freely cross the boundaries between disciplines. Within the context of a year-long theme, children learn from direct experience as they actively integrate scientific, cultural, and literary studies. They discuss, write about, and represent these topic areas using a variety of different mediums. Each student at Advent is an active participant in the learning process, making choices and accepting responsibility for his or her learning.
Students learn to research topics starting in their early elementary years. With two teachers per classroom along with specialist teachers, students have the support they need to fully understand a concept and apply skills.
