Core Curriculum

English Language Arts

We teach ELA using HMH Into Reading. The program uses five key concepts: phonological awareness, phonics/decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension to develop our students' reading skills as well as a love of reading and writing. 

 

Envision Math

The enVision math program allows students to solve problems using a hands on approach to mathematics. Students learn more about math by solving rich, reality-based problems. Through this program students gain a deeper, clearer understanding of math concepts with visual models and scaffolds in every lesson.
