Developmental Curriculum

At Charles River School, teachers design curricula that allow each child, from the youngest to the oldest, to grow with a sense of achievement and self-confidence, bearing in mind students' differing development levels.

Our curriculum is designed to spiral so that skills and concepts learned are reinforced and further developed each year. At the same time, our curriculum challenges children with an engaging program that stimulates intellectual curiosity, supports risk-taking, and fosters exploration and discovery.

Integrated Thematic Studies

At Charles River School, we structure much of our learning around themes, providing our students with a meaningful context for their learning. Through each grade's theme, students become actively engaged in related literary, historical, scientific and cultural material, allowing them to delve deeply as well as broadly into concepts and curricula. Our integrated approach teaches children to be inquisitive learners who discover the many facets of an experience and to understand what it feels like to have an in-depth knowledge of subject worth knowing about-life in the Medieval times, Colonial America, the Age of Exploration, or the world of the ancient Greeks.
