4th, 5th & 6th Grades (Ages 9-12)
The Upper Elementary Program, for children ages 9 – 12, (grades 4, 5, and 6), continues to center on reason, relationships and community and refine these skills that began in Lower Elementary. These children work together and make choices. Self-confidence is enhanced with new challenges and, in collaboration with the teacher, multiple levels of learning take place, maximizing the individual potential of each child. Each child works at their own rate and pace.
