Curriculum

C u r r i c u l u m

Our curriculum is aligned with the Sunshine State Standards and the standards developed by the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists Education Department.

Lesson designs follow the 4MAT natural learning cycle that connects the learners to the subject matter through their individual learning style. (For more information on the 4MAT model visit www.aboutlearning.com/what_is_4mat.htm)

Our school uses a balanced literacy model that tracks early reading development through the DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) in Grades K-3. This balanced literacy model program focuses on teaching students specific comprehension strategies that connect them to the text as well as word study program. This is done through the FUNDATIONS Curriculum which launches early readers into the reading process.
