3rd grade - 6th grade
In the third grade, students make a shift to "big kid school." The ELA that they learned in previous years is now split into two different subjects - Reading and English. However, our students in third through sixth grade still enjoy 2 recesses per day, learning through experiements, field trips, and many activities that allow for active and fun experiences at school.
