ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
We offer early elementary schooling for children 5+ with plans to extend 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.

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
We are currently in the process of partnering with Step Up for Students to offer significant tuition scholarships of about $8,000/year to ALL students!
In addition to Step Up for Students we offer additional tuition assistance based on financial need.
School affordability is a priority, and we never want finances to deter you from enrolling your child.

The Florida Tax Credit Scholarship (FTC) and Family Empowerment Scholarship for Educational Options (FES-EO) programs give families of K-12 students a choice of financial assistance toward private school tuition.
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.
