The curriculum for the primary child is developmental and age appropriate at each level. Thematic units of study include instruction in the areas of language arts, reading readiness, mathematics, social studies and sciences. Daily language, speech and auditory development activities help children to listen, understand, speak and learn effectively. The primary department seeks to maximize the academic potential of each child while fostering a positive self-image and providing the skills necessary for the next level of education.

In addition, there is an emphasis on activities and materials designed to develop the full range of motor skills.

As a child progresses through Kindergarten, more emphasis is placed on math and reading readiness in preparation for first grade.

Course Enrichment

Our primary program recognizes that young children learn best in an environment rich in sensory experiences.

The core curriculum is supplemented by "enrichment" classes in

Computer Education
Art
Media Center
Music
Spanish
PE
Investigative Science Lab.

Our free play, music, art and drama activities stimulate creativity and self-expression.

Our unique fully equipped science lab helps our youngest students grasp basic science concepts through observation and manipulation of a variety of materials.

Character Development & Character Education

An Inclusive part of the Elementary School Program

The Character Development/Character Education program at American Heritage Schools and The American Academy at American Heritage Schools, provides social emotional learning in the classroom setting and in small group instruction. Monthly lessons involve teaching and modeling appropriate social and emotional skills that speak to the vision of Knowledge, Integrity & Compassion.

Faculty

All of our primary teachers are college educated and fully certified. They are warm, caring professionals with the experience and training to prepare our youngest students for elementary school. In addition to the teacher, each class has a full time assistant to aid in classroom work and play. Enrichment classes (art, music, media center, Spanish, science lab, and PE) are taught by instructors certified in those subject areas in special purpose facilities.
