Elementary.

The elementary years are a time of imagination, reasoning, and the great question 'why?' We meet this with cosmic education — a sweeping curriculum that begins with the origin of the universe and connects every subject to the wonder of being alive in it.

Big stories, deep questions.

Each year we tell the Great Lessons — the story of the universe, life on Earth, human history, the development of language, and the development of mathematics — giving children the framework to investigate any subject they choose.

Going out.

Elementary students extend their learning beyond the classroom through 'Going Out' — research trips to museums, libraries, farms, and businesses — exercising independence, planning, and social responsibility.
