Elementary

At Community Day School, our rigorous, inquiry-based curriculum is designed to honor the individuality of every learner. With small class sizes and close relationships between teachers and students, we truly come to know each child—their passions and interests, their strengths, and the areas where they need extra support.

This deep understanding allows our teachers to tailor instruction to different learning styles, ensuring that every child is both challenged and encouraged. In this way, we create a classroom environment where curiosity is nurtured, talents are celebrated, and each student is empowered to grow at their own pace while pursuing what inspires them most.

Never Bored, Always Inspired!

At Community Day School, learning is never boring—it’s an adventure. As children move through our curriculum, teachers collaborate across grade levels to ensure that every student is continually challenged and inspired.

Each day brings opportunities to stretch beyond grade-level expectations, so no child is ever held back by a lack of challenge. Instead of following a scripted program, our educators design individualized learning paths that honor every student’s talents, passions, and interests—creating a school experience that is as dynamic and unique as the children themselves.

 

A Focus on Critical Thinking

At Community Day School, students are empowered to take ownership of their learning and chart their own course of discovery. Every journey begins with a question—often sparked by a real-world problem—and that curiosity drives meaningful research, exploration, and problem-solving.

Along the way, students collaborate with peers, draw on community resources, and engage with local experts. They learn not only to gather information, but also to interpret, evaluate, and synthesize it into new understanding.

This process of inquiry builds confidence, resilience, and independence. More importantly, it reflects the way students will be asked to learn, think critically, and contribute throughout their lives. At Community Day, we see critical thinking not as a skill to be taught, but as a way of living and learning that prepares children to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Every child known and loved

At Community Day School, every child is truly known and loved. With small class sizes and close relationships between teachers, students, and families, we take the time to understand each child’s unique story—their strengths, challenges, passions, and dreams. This deep sense of connection allows us to nurture not only academic growth, but also social, emotional, and spiritual well-being. We celebrate each child for who they are, ensuring they feel seen, valued, and embraced as an essential part of our community.
