Books are checked out for the school year to each student. In addition, we offer many other choices to supplement a student's "core choices". Each year we hold a curriculum fair where parents, in partnership with an Advisory Teacher, select a core curriculum choice for the following year. We do this to ensure that our families have all of their books long before school begins in the fall and have plenty of time to plan ahead. Below is a grade level quick list of Core choice curriculum. For the complete selection please click on the blue button above to browse our entire curriculum catalog.
