Basic Skills

All students must build a basic foundation in reading, math, written language and study skills in order to be able to effectively pursue more complex topics of study.

In the early grades, through both direct instruction and experiential learning, students develop skills and strategies in decoding, reading comprehension, math computation and problem solving, handwriting, spelling and speaking.

As they progress through school, students receive explicit instruction in research, computer and study skills. If more intensive instruction is needed, on-site individualized tutoring is available.
