The Upper Elementary Program is the second stage of the six-year Elementary School.  It serves students from 9 to 11 years of age, while spanning fourth through sixth levels/grades in multi-age, multi-disciplinary classrooms.

The Upper Elementary offers advanced academic challenges in practical life experiences, language development and research, foreign language (Spanish), mathematics/geometry, history, geography, biology, chemistry, physics, physical education, and visual and performing arts.

The language arts program emphasizes the reading of both fiction and nonfiction works and devotes extensive time to the development of writing and research skills. The mathematics and geometry curriculum continues to develop students' understanding of basic mathematical operations and geometry, while beginning the introduction of algebraic equations, logic and statistics. Hands-on experiences are used to create tangible examples of complex mathematical concepts. The science curriculum offers a fascinating study of energy, plants, animals and environmental education with an emphasis on discovery opportunities. Technology is integrated into the curriculum using computers in the classroom.

Students begin to work in large groups and enjoy many class activities, including the Upper Elementary camp out. After careful planning and preparation, the Upper Elementary student is exposed to important leadership, social and intellectual skills as they prepare for these outings. Each students awareness of the needs of the greater community is developed through a focus on service opportunities.

Standardized testing is part of the Upper Elementary School experience.
