Our Academic Approach
Four areas at the core of every grade
Literacy
Explicit, systematic instruction in foundational reading skills, paired with rich read-alouds, writing every day, and knowledge-building texts.
Mathematics
Number sense, fluency, and problem-solving built through hands-on materials, visual models, and real-world application.
Science
Observation, questioning, and investigation — learning to think like scientists from the earliest grades.
Social studies
Learning about family, community, Atlanta, Georgia, and the world, with diverse perspectives and voices.
Inquiry and application
Knowledge that children use
Our proposed approach pairs direct instruction with chances to apply skills: investigating questions, building projects, and — through the proposed MicroSociety model — using reading, writing, and math in a classroom community.
Curriculum selections and instructional materials are still being developed and will be shared once finalized.
Stay connected
Your Place in the Village Starts Here
Whether you are a family imagining your child's first day or a neighbor ready to help, we would love to stay connected as our village takes shape.
