Curriculum in the PreK-5 programs is determined by the time allotment for language learning at that particular school. In general the philosophy of these programs is to expose the students to as much of the target language as possible in engaging ways. Teachers use gestures, visuals, games, songs, cultural artifacts, and links to regular clasroom content to build students' language and culture skills.
The PreK-5 Curriculum document is included below. If you have any questions about the Prek-5 programs, please contact Jessica Haxhi at jessica.haxhi@nhboe.net.
