Early childhood curriculum

Feynman School collaborates with some of the world’s foremost authorities on early gifted education and linguistics to develop our programming. Our programs — a blend of science, math, language arts, foreign language, and visual and performing arts — incorporate the latest research on effective curriculum, instruction, assessment and professional development. With extensive specialized training, our teaching teams stimulate high-ability learners to question and think in a fun, dynamic setting.

In each of our preschool and pre-kindergarten classrooms, 14 young learners have the attentive support of two highly skilled, full-time teachers. Here, gifted children have the opportunity to use materials more challenging and sophisticated than those typically available in other schools, public or private. Working with the whole child, we balance thinking skills like questioning, reasoning and problem-solving with social skills such as listening, leading, cooperation and confidence. Children will explore their feelings, friends and family as well as the world around them.

“I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.”
