Our Curriculum
Inquiry-based learning
with a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math…
- Exploring in-depth investigations of a topic that is relevant and meaningful to children.
- Engaging students to make real-world connections through high-level questioning and hands-on experiences.
- Developing life skills as children use reasoning and critical thinking, collaborate with peers, and seek solutions to problems.
Social-emotional Learning
We implement our own research-based approach to Intentional Positive Behavior Support where teachers are trained to:
- Model and teach social / emotional development strategies to regulate feelings, thoughts and behaviors
- Model and teach calming strategies
- Model and teach conflict resolution
- Model and teach friendship skills
Documentation
- Documentation is a valuable way to support and communicate learning
- Samples of children's work are collected to show growth, development, and evidence of meeting learning standards
- Teachers compile work sampling in children's portfolios to review with parents at conferences
Added Activities: (optional with fees)
Our families have the option to sign-up for Soccer Shots Peoria and / or TumbleBus Boogiebus, who have partnered with us to provide their services at The Wonder Academy on a weekly basis.
