ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CURRICULUM
ASH is accredited by NEASC (New England Association of Schools and Colleges), founded on the principle that self-reflection and candid feedback are essential to ongoing educational success. Our curriculum is guided by the Common Core Standards to ensure transferability for our students and their families, as well as to provide a K-12 framework for learning outcomes.
All classroom teachers instruct in the core academic subjects of language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. Our students also study additional subjects, which include art, Dutch, library, music, physical education and information technology. The specialist subject teachers are experts in their respective fields. Typically, students spend anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes twice a day in special subject classes.
