Kindergarten Curriculum:
Your kindergartner will be introduced to the Saxon Phonics with Complete Reading Series, a systematic, structured program for reading and writing. They will learn math with Eureka Math which is a program that builds foundational math skills. Science and Social Studies will be integrated with language arts through IB with a focus on inquiry to build basic understanding.
The following assessments will be given during your child’s kindergarten year:
- Fountas
- Pinnell
- Kindergarten Screener
- GKIDS (Georgia Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills) – State checklist with ongoing assessment in all areas of Kindergarten development.
