The Primary Class is a three-year program, which includes the Kindergarten year. Each child is taught individually and works at his or her own pace. Students receive lessons and real-life, hands-on activities that teach a wide range of skills and concepts, including reading and writing, math, geography, science, social studies, foreign languages, music, and art.
In the afternoon, younger children go to the nap room, where they have quiet time and a rest. The non-nappers have outdoor playtime, and additional class time.
A child must be fully potty-trained before entering the Primary class.
