Powered by AMP/edu

Our school is powered by the AMP/edu ecosystem — a unified, modern learning platform that strengthens classroom instruction and enhances every student's learning experience. AMP brings together curriculum, tools, and resources in one cohesive system, helping teachers deliver engaging, consistent instruction and giving students confidence with a well-supported, high-quality education.

English Language Arts

ELA instruction supports early literacy through phonics, read-alouds, and interactive storytelling. Students develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in ways that are playful, purposeful, and age-appropriate.

Math

Math instruction builds number recognition, sorting, and patterning skills through games, manipulatives, and guided exploration. Students develop problem-solving abilities while building early math confidence.

Science

Students engage with science through observation, questioning, and simple experiments that nurture curiosity and introduce basic scientific concepts.

Social Studies

Students begin learning about families, communities, and traditions through books, classroom discussions, and real-world connections. Instruction supports empathy and an early sense of citizenship.

Art

Through art and music, students explore creativity and self-expression while developing fine motor skills and an appreciation for rhythm, color, and sound.

Physical Education

Movement is built into the daily routine, helping students develop coordination, balance, and confidence. Activities support wellness and give students opportunities to build teamwork and self-regulation.

Instructional Model

Our school is built on a strong foundation of high expectations for academic achievement for all students. Our instructional model has four key components to achieve strong academic results:

Individualized Instruction

Students participate in a variety of learning activities each day that individualize instruction for each subject area. Students receive whole class instruction, small group instruction, and individual instruction with teachers, technology and other curricular tools.

Properly Certified & Licensed Teachers

Our teachers meet the educator qualification requirements outlined in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA): Bachelor’s degree, grade-level teaching license/certificate & ability to demonstrate subject area expertise. Our teachers are supported by trainers and participate in continuous, research-based professional development. Our teachers are accountable for student learning and rewarded for high quality performance.

More Time on Task

Our students receive double the instruction in ELA and Math to provide a strong foundation for all learning. Beginning with full-day Kindergarten, our school also follows a longer school day and school year than many other schools.

Short Cycle Assessments

Student knowledge of academic standards is assessed formally and informally in short cycles by each teacher. Our teachers adjust class-level and individual instruction based on student performance in these frequent intervals.
