Cultural

Children develop cultural understanding through exposure to music, art, literature, zoology, botany, American and global landmarks, cultural sharing, and sensorial experiences. These first-hand experiences are crucial in creating lasting impressions for the children about life around the world. Teachers endeavor to make connections between other cultures and that of the student, demonstrating through the beauty of differences and similarities the idea of the world as one group of people who are related and interdependent.

The Primary classroom offers immense opportunities for students to learn about various science topics, learn about the Earth’s geography, and learn about the various world traditions celebrated in our diverse community.
