ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
We offer early elementary schooling for children 5-7 years old, with plans to extend ages upward with each passing year.
SCHOOL CALENDAR
Our elementary school calendar runs alongside our preschool calendar, operating in trimesters with extended breaks at the end of each trimester.
This promotes learning retention for children, as well as, provides sufficient breaks for our teachers to recharge so they can give their best each day.
Trimester 1: September-December
Trimester 2: January-April
Trimester 3: May-August
A more extensive calendar will be communicated to all families of enrolled children.
TUITION

LAUNCHING THIS FALL!
Our classroom is blended and ungraded, meaning that we teach based on a child's skills and abilities, not their age.
CURRICULUM
Canguros offers our elementary students an experiential-based education that is non-traditional through Origins Curriculum.
Canguros students will excel academically while gaining insight on themselves, others, and the world around them. For more information on conscious curriculum, please click here.
'Through our Conscious Curriculum, a child will develop a connection to, and understanding of their place in the global eco-system, and grow critical-thinking skills toward solving real world problems. They will gain mindful emotional recognition and regulation skills while growing confidence in their identity, meaning, and purpose, in addition to obtaining and solidifying the full range of academic skill sets.' - Origins website
The Canguros classroom is fully immersive, with Spanish and English being spoken equally by teachers throughout each day.
