Community
Integrated Science and Social Studies Program
In
Kindergarten, it is important for students to broaden their knowledge of
the world around them. Our Social Studies program teaches students to understand
their own community and how it is part of a bigger society-Earth. Each week
the students are immersed in a hands on community field trip to learn about
the local businesses and landmarks, as well as to serve our community through
such projects as litter collection and recycling.
As
we learn about the other cultures and their needs, our students fund raise
to better the lives of our fellow countries. We have raised money to feed
orphans in Burundi and helped families in Thailand obtain clean water.
Our Science program is an applied and practical curriculum. The students
build and create each experiment themselves. Every lesson is a step-by-step
process using safe and common supplies that teach the students discipline
and perseverance in coming to a conclusion. Science is seen as a fun activity
that can be used through all aspects of life, especially in Kauai’s
natural surroundings.
