General Studies

The general studies curriculum follows the North Carolina General Course of Study for Kindergarten - Fifth Grade. Based on our integrated theme-based learning model, the year is divided into major themes. Kindergarten and the 2nd/3rd Grade themes, while often different, do overlap during the year so that the entire school may be studying the same theme at various levels.

The support materials that help guide the general studies curricula include:

Language Arts: Scott Foresman Reading Street
Math: Everyday Mathematics
Science: Scott Foresman Science
Social Studies: Scott Foresman Social Studies - NC Edition.
