In 5th grade, we focus on nurturing independence and responsibility in preparation for the transition to middle school. Our program emphasizes not only academic excellence but also the development of positive character traits through our Character Counts program. In math, students explore topics such as fractions, decimals, and basic geometry. Reading and writing programs enhance comprehension and written expression through diverse texts and genres. Science classes delve into life sciences, earth sciences, and physical sciences, fostering inquiry and experimentation. In social studies, students examine American history, geography, and civics, gaining a deeper understanding of their community and country.
