Language Arts builds on the foundation laid in the Swans and Nightingales Program (Year 1 and 2 in the Primary Program)This sets the stage for the children to master skills such as reading, writing, spelling, dictionary skills, poetry, penmanship and handwriting, and parts of speech and grammar. Each skill builds to another and forms a solid base which leads to ease of integration with other subjects. Writing a research project on whales or reading directions to do a science experiment are among some of the results of this approach.

There is nothing in our world that does not in some way relate to mathematics. Being able to apply mathematic skills in other areas such as language, art and sensorial are most beneficial. The four operations are taught, building on skills learned in the previous two years. Also included will be fractions, factors of multiples and identifying coins.

Plants are one key component that sustain animal life on earth. In our Botany, we teach the plant anatomy, physiology, geography and horticulture. Zoology encompasses an overview of the animal kingdom and classification as well as their needs for survival.

We believe that a healthy mind, body and spirit are essential elements to happiness and progress for us individually and thus for our community and the world community as a whole . We practice meditation on a daily basis and learn and practice virtues and thus help cultivate peace and self awareness.

Children entering our Eagles program (K- third year of Primary Program) have already had fairly unlimited access to basic Practical Life Activities. As they mature, more challenging Practical life material will be introduced that hone the skills needed to success in later subjects and life in general. Topics such as Food Preparation, Cooking, Sewing, Weaving; Knitting and basic etiquette that will help the children develop a high level of concentration and improve fine motor skills, while evoking a sense of respect for others and the environment.

More to come.
