Primary Curriculum

Kindergarteners and first-graders want to understand the point of what they’re learning. It isn’t enough to know something; they want to know what it means. Our curriculum helps them along that voyage of discovery.

Feynman School seizes this pivotal point in a child’s cognitive, physical, social and emotional growth with a primary program rich in opportunities for children to explore and explain the world around them.

Our curriculum integrates science, math and language arts, as well as music, drama, visual arts and physical education. With carefully chosen study topics, we capture the children’s interest and fire their imagination.

Science studies start down the path of hypothesis, investigation and analysis. Through hands-on activities, we encourage kids to ask questions, watch closely, make educated guesses and dig for answers. While the kids are having fun, they’re also learning scientific skills and processes they’ll use all their lives.

Language learning takes full advantage of children's burgeoning abilities to absorb and process the spoken and written word. Spanish studies that began in preschool continue.

Math moves forward with differentiated curriculum designed to help our students understand and apply newfound knowledge of numerical equations, geometry and other mathematical concepts.

And by promoting physical and social growth, we help our students start the primary grades as well-rounded young learners. Their innate curiosity makes it all possible.
