Highly engaging, meaningful activities that integrate Science, Literature, and Social Studies. Study Trips offer hands-on approach that takes learning outdoors to a different academic level. Homework load is manageable with utilization of the Daily Planner provided each school year and a self-disciplined approach. An effective tool to continue well into their educational years ahead. If your child likes to be challenged, then TEACH Elem. is the place for you. TEACh will prepare your kids into Middle School and High School.
