一年级课程
In first grade, students build on the knowledge and skills they’ve acquired in kindergarten. 他们的学习加深，并变得更适用于所有学科. 通过具体的建模和协作学习经验, 阅读的基本基础, 写作, 从一年级开始，数学就融入了日常生活.
在MVS, 我们相信创造一个安全和健康的环境可以让学生充分参与, 勇于冒险，从他们的学习和人际关系中获得最大收益. 前六个星期, students are re-acquainted with the responsive classroom model used in the early childhood school. 通过这个模型, 他们建立关系, 建立一个充满爱心的课堂社区, 集体设定课堂期望, 并为健康的社会情感学习环境奠定基调.
第一天, 我们的学生在一年级时被问到他们想学什么, 因为拥有学习的自主权对学术投资至关重要. Literacy is expanded upon in first grade and much of what our teachers engage in with the students is making literacy connections: verbal, 写, 阅读和解决问题. Deepening their literacy skill set is how our first graders become more in-depth thinkers and close readers, 能够更好地表达自己的想法和消化信息.
一年级的高潮是个人创作项目, an experience that prepares them for the more refined and integrated learning projects that come in second grade.

In third grade, students dive deep into topics of interest with faculty guidance along the way. They have acquired a strong reading and 写作 foundation and are ready to take it to the next level! Third grade at MVS focuses on research projects with a culmination with an Independent Research Project (IRP) at the end of the year. During this process, their thinking deepens and their knowledge of subject matters widens. These research projects tie together the learning happening in the science classroom and the main classroom.
与研究项目相结合, third graders learn all about community: their 一天ton community to biomes and then wild animal communities. They develop strong personal relationships with the community they live in and are exposed to different cultures, 背景, 和心态.
当我们的学生进入四年级的时候, they have established a strong sense of what it means to be an independent learner and are ready to continue a rigorous academic program with increased ownership over their learning.
