Math
A hands-on approach to mathematics is used by exposing students to a wide variety of opportunities for developing awareness of mathematical concepts. This includes concrete learning using numerous types of manipulatives to help provide a solid foundation for the more abstract principles to follow. Classroom experiences include enumeration, inequalities, patterns, measurements, comparisons, data management and problem solving.

Cross cultural awareness is fostered through the recognition of and participation in family festivals and traditions. A sense of history is developed through examination of family histories, records of local events, etc.
