History serves as the spine of our curriculum, and literature is chosen as it pertains to the time period each grade studies. Students learn history through the Story of the World curriculum and historical fiction.
Language Arts is a multidisciplinary study that includes literature, grammar, vocabulary, writing, and elementary school Austin TX spelling. Throughout their years at City School, students engage in narration, a practice of intensely focusing on language and content (while the teacher reads) and then recalling precisely what was read. In the early grades, we emphasize literacy.
Math in lower grades is taught using Well-Trained Mind Press’ Math with Confidence series. This curriculum seamlessly blends traditional math practice with deep conceptual understanding through engaging exercises and activities.
Science is studied and experienced through narration and project-based learning: when you walk through our classrooms, you’re sure to see student-made bird models swooping from the ceiling or planet projects orbiting the Sun.
Music and Art classes are twice/week, and PE is 3 times/week. Recess daily with plenty of free play.
