Grades 2-3

In Grades 2–3, students continue to expand their knowledge, applying what they’ve learned in increasingly complex and meaningful ways. Collaboration, creativity, and exploration are central as they strengthen academic skills, deepen friendships, and develop their individual interests. Through hands-on projects and real-world connections, students build confidence, independence, and a strong sense of personal responsibility in their learning.

  • Specialty Classes begin directly after school and run until 4:30 p.m. (Extended care is available until 5:15 p.m. for an additional cost.)
