ELEMENTARY
Leesburg Pike campus, Magnolia Classroom
Around the age of 6 or 7, a new physical and psychological phase begins and lasts through the age of 12. Fiore’s Elementary Program is designed to span this age range through a carefully designed curriculum that is backed by Modern Science. Children thrive in this setting and cannot wait to come to school each day. Foundational learning creates huge benefits in long term critical thinking and self expression.
-
Learning by exploration and doing - Our curriculum is based on experential learning not on reading concepts in a book. The curriculum offers concrete material that creates a pathway to learning concepts by first principles.
​
-
Individualized Lessons - Lessons are planned for each child on a weekly basis and presented in small groups or one-on-one.
​​
-
Mixed-ages & Group Work encourages deep learning - Mixed age groups classrooms enable children to learn from each other naturally but progress at the right pace for each child. ​

OVERVIEW
The elementary environment fosters a love of learning by providing a “let’s go find out” atmosphere. This serves the elementary child who is curious about the world, academically driven, and likes to work in groups with peers.
​
The academic curriculum for the elementary program is extensive and rigorous. The elementary child's reasoning mind leaves them constantly wondering about the world. The environment is specially designed to encourage children to research and discover new information about what interests them. It is an environment for discovery that ignites a spark within the child’s spirit. The children often work on many subjects simultaneously, allowing them to notice the natural relationships between each subject. They are given the freedom of exploration which allows them to be able to cover topics not typically explored in traditional elementary schools. Collaboration with the teacher ensures their work is challenging and purposeful and that academic standards are met.
​
In partnership with our academic curriculum, children are also prepared with necessary life and social skills. We take pride in preparing children for real life situations that will serve them well as they continue their journey into adolescence and adulthood. The elementary community goes on specialized field trips called "Going Outs", which are planned completely by the children. The skills gained from coming up with, planning, and executing a Going Out are memorable and invaluable!
