Academics

It starts with strong teaching…

Well educated educators guide children through challenging curriculum designed to grow students who are great learners. Our teachers have advanced degrees in education…..and that makes a difference when teaching human beings. We believe in “whole brain” teaching which attends to how the brain is designed to learn. With the approach of educating an entire person, not just installing subjects, we see children blossom!

Next, we add challenging curriculum…..

Singapore Math is used as a different approach to the common ‘drill it and kill it’ methods most of us learned as kids. Singapore Math is a three-step learning process that utilizes concrete, pictorial, and abstract concepts to get students to think through math solutions.

Daily 5 (Cafe) guides students through literacy, reading, science, social studies in various activities which constantly rotate. Boredom does nott happen when you are always moving to something new and exciting!

NextGen Science Standards for the state of New Mexico are taught to give students the academic edge with a strong foundation of scientific thinking.

Computer Science is taught from Kindergarten through 5th grade, and teaches students computer programming and coding. We use curriculum through CODE.org which is supported and endorsed by Microsoft, Apple, Intel, Google and more. These are the skills that will be required of graduates in all fields of study. Cross of Hope Elementary is excited to get students started early on something they will use throughout their academic career.
