Kindergarten – Grade 2
As your child transitions from lower to upper elementary education, we are excited to embark on this journey with you. In Upper Elementary (Grades 3-5), we focus on nurturing independence and critical thinking skills. Here, students shift from learning to read to reading to learn, which is a pivotal moment in their educational journey. At ASD, we maximize this crucial time by fostering well-rounded learners equipped with the foundational skills necessary for their continued education and life.
Our robust, hands-on curriculum is tailored to meet the academic and personal needs of each upper elementary student. We offer advanced subjects in math, literacy, and science, utilizing proven programs such as Singapore Math: Math in Focus, Journey’s Literacy, and FOSS Science. Each program is thoughtfully modified to meet AERO standards while integrating technology and inquiry-based learning to enhance student engagement and comprehension.
At ASD, we believe that education goes beyond academics. Our core values of ethics, responsibility, and global citizenship permeate every lesson and subject. We are dedicated to fostering leadership skills and encouraging community involvement, ensuring our students not only excel in their studies but also grow into strong, model citizens.
In today’s rapidly changing world, collaboration and teamwork are essential skills. Our Upper Elementary classrooms are designed to promote innovation and group work, where students tackle real-world problems together. Our specialized programs, including STEM, arts, and language initiatives, prepare students for the complexities of the future.
