The curriculum typically includes a mix of academic and non-academic subjects, with an emphasis on promoting social, emotional, and physical development. Academic subjects include basic literacy and numeracy skills, such as recognizing letters and numbers, basic reading and writing skills, and simple math concepts like counting and sorting. Non-academic subjects may include art, music, physical education, and social studies, which can help young children learn to express themselves creatively, develop motor skills, and understand their place in the world around them.
Conceptual education is an approach to teaching and learning that focuses on helping students understand the "big ideas" or concepts behind a subject, rather than just memorizing facts or procedures. In middle school, this approach is applied to all subjects, but is especially effective in subjects like science, mathematics, and social studies.
