Reading/Phonics/Language Arts
Phonics is the bases of the curriculum and blends appropriate literature, language, and writing skills into a comprehensive program of study. These genres enhance comprehension, vocabulary, writing, and higher level thinking skills. Creative expression, grammar, punctuation, journal writing, dictation, and challenging spelling units develop the learner’s ability to articulate thoughts and ideas.

Mathematics
The Page math Program begins with basic concepts that move students to the more complex development of skills. Teachers use both concrete and abstract materials, based on the instructional level of the learner. Numeric associations, problem solving and the selection of appropriate operational choices, conceptual understanding, daily practice of facts, and memorization are essential to students.

Science
Scientific exploration, guided lessons, and basic experimentation are the keys to discovery. Students engage in collecting, manipulating, and using data while developing appropriate scientific vocabulary and procedures. Students explore cause-and-effect relationships as they develop an understanding of the scientific method.

Social Studies and History
The Social Studies curriculum begins with family and peers and continues through geographical and historical facts of the state, country, and the world. The program develops an appreciation of similarities and differences of individuals and cultures.

Physical Education
The Page Physical Education Curriculum combines cardio-vascular exercise, sports and personal fitness. The school’s physical environment has been thoughtfully developed with the student’s need to be outdoors at the very forethought. Included in this program is an on-site swimming.
