Grades 3-4

The curriculum of our team is aligned to the Arizona State Standards. We use Saxon Math and manipulatives in our math program. In reading we use Harcourt Brace, Literature Studies, and Great Books. In writing, we use Writers Workshop, Step Up to Writing, and the 6 traits of writing. Our cottages are all science-based and our instruction is geared to the level of the child. Our program also includes Character Counts and Standards based language instruction. Each child is pretested and appropriately placed in each curriculum.

The students enjoy and study various cottages such as:

Arizona Adventure
Mystery Mansion
Aquarium
Reptile Ranch
Conservation Plantation
Exploration Station
Plant Nursery
Desert Lab
