LOWER SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Chesapeake Academy’s Early Childhood programs launch your child’s education in a caring, nurturing environment. Essential skills develop through fun, imaginative, hands-on learning, including music, arts and crafts, games, guided play, exciting literature, and manipulatives that tease the mind. Your child will become a happy enthusiastic learner who feels confident and willing to embrace the many wonderful challenges of school life.

Chesapeake Academy’s lower school, grades one through four, offers a curriculum which provides an exceptionally strong foundation for its students. Children work in an atmosphere of encouragement, challenge, and discipline which allows each individual to develop a sense of his or her potential. Attention to the whole child and not just the academic child helps encourage a sense of community and an awareness of the child's place within the community. Interaction between faculty and students develops an atmosphere of mutual respect and a sense of pursuit of common goals. Group interaction allows students to develop skills necessary to work effectively on cooperative ventures. Participation in decision making encourages a sense of responsibility and respect for others.
