The curriculum is geared to a higher academic level. Our robust primary school curriculum meets and exceeds goals set in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) in reading, math, science, and social studies. Using hands on experiments, and many other real life experiences, students build a strong foundation to develop a lifetime of knowledge. Our 2nd - 4th Grade classes partake in our robotics and computer program.
The class regularly visit the STEM Lab and Kodo Kids Gardens. Using our STEM Lab, our students use a wide variety of technological materials. They identify problems, collaborate with their peers to come up with a hypothesis, devise experiments, and form conclusions making revisions where necessary.
In our fine arts program, our students take on a huge part of our musical productions. They learn to sing, dance, and act out scenes becoming brilliant public performers. The art program consists of learning to recognize the paintings of the famous artists and how to replicate some of their masterpieces each month. They regularly visit the art room to do projects using a wide variety of mediums and techniques. Through attaining a basic knowledge of the arts, children are not only better prepared to understand and appreciate works of art, but also to communicate their ideas, feelings, and opinions to others.
At this stage the children have become well versed in classical music and can recognize a number of instruments of the orchestra along with the sounds they make. Each month we introduce the students to the sounds of a different instrument of the orchestra, and to the music of great composers: Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Tchaikovsky to name a few. Music is played softly throughout the day. Then we follow up with a “mini-concert” performed by a musician who plays the particular instrument. To date, we have had a number of outstanding musicians from the Woodlands and Houston Symphony Orchestra come play for your children. Some of our special gusts have even been former Paddington School students!
The little ones look up to our primary school students. It is therefore important for them to act in a respectful, kind and compassionate manner, paying attention to proper etiquette.
