Academics

Harvard Students Make the Grade

Academic rigor and relevance are evident in all of the classrooms at Harvard Elementary School.  Students are challenged daily in the core academic subjects through integrated and differentiated instruction.  Teachers integrate the subjects as part of their IB Planner and Transdisciplinary Theme.  Differentiation takes place when students are instructed at their level of understanding and retaught skills using grade level standards.  All classrooms are self-contained and taught by one teacher.  This enhances a teachers understanding of the whole child.

Student Academic Responsibilities

Each student will:

• Demonstrate proficiency in all core academic subjects on grade level.
• Demonstrate proficiency in oral and written communication.
• Demonstrate an understanding, appreciation, and skills in the areas of art, music, health, and physical education.
• Develop the knowledge and skills necessary for success in a technological society.
• Demonstrate responsibility for completion of homework, projects and class work.
