ACADEMICS

Building
Foundations

In grades 1 to 3, our highly capable students develop a strong foundation in academic skills—reading, writing, math, and critical thinking—while beginning to explore big questions and deeper ideas. Through differentiated instruction, each child is challenged and supported according to their strengths and needs. With an emphasis on guided risk-taking, learning from mistakes, and celebrating progress, students build confidence, resilience, and a growth mindset. These years establish the tools and habits needed for future academic success and personal discovery.

SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL & IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT

Nurturing
Compassion

Social-emotional growth is a central focus throughout the primary years. Students build emotional intelligence by learning respect for themselves and others, solving problems, and navigating friendships with empathy. They practice recognizing feelings, respectfully disagreeing, and advocating for themselves and others. This nurturing environment cultivates self-awareness, compassion, and positive relationships, preparing students to become confident, caring individuals.

The Evergreen Way

Sparking
Curiosity

With strong foundational skills in place, students engage in interdisciplinary projects that bring learning to life. They apply knowledge in reading, writing, science, technology, math, art, and music to explore real-world topics and questions. This project-based approach fuels creativity and inquiry, encouraging students to make connections across subjects and see the relevance of their learning. Curiosity remains the driving force, inspiring a lasting passion for exploration, collaboration, and discovery.
