ELEMENTARY CURRICULUM
THE UNIVERSE IS OUR CLASSROOM!
Curiosity, imagination, a sense of wonder, and a love that transcends all dimensions are gifts of the child that must be fostered by all the nations of the earth.
The Elementary classroom gives the developing child wider boundaries for social experiences as the mind moves from sensorial, to concrete and then to abstract levels.
Though seemingly unstructured, the Another Way activities are purposeful and basic to independent learning and self-directed activity. Our goal is to awaken the mind of the child to our spiritual oneness with all life and our creative potentialities.
Basic practical life skills, such as, meal preparation, plant and animal care, keeping the environment clean, self management, and respect for self, others, and the environment are fostered in all daily activities.
