Family Unity
Our Four-Year Rotation allows for family discussions around common themes because multiple grades are studying the same subject matter at differing levels of complexity. See the chart below to understand how this works across subjects and grades.
To the right, you’ll find a sample daily schedule illustrating how families can come together around the school table for shared learning across multiple subjects. This unified learning time is listed first, but it can be scheduled before or after lunch, depending on your family’s preferences and needs.
