Primary and Mid-Level Goals & Expectations


Picture
Each grade level has goals for what they will accomplish and thresholds they’ll be expected to reach. These are guidelines based on how children develop academically and socially. 

Our primary and middle-level students should display creativity in several areas, including art, music, storytelling, math, problem-solving, and construction. They should be respectful to people of all ages and accept different abilities and opinions.

Primary and middle-level students should participate in homeroom, use appropriate language, and be able to communicate their ideas and feelings. They should be involved in their academics and think critically. Primary and middle-level students should be able to state their goals and work towards them. They make effective use of their school time and can evaluate their learning. 

At the primary and middle levels, Kino students begin to develop more than academic skills. They start to learn how to balance freedom and responsibility to be part of a community in which they are valued and dependable. Our goal is to help children become passionate, lifelong learners who believe in themselves and make a difference in the world.

Primary and Mid-Level Curriculum


Picture
At Kino, we create an environment where children can explore their academic interests. We offer more standard class choices like Language Arts, Social Studies, Spanish, Math, and Science as well as classes like Computers, Ceramics, Cooking, Dance, Gardening, and special individual projects. 

Our class structure allows ample time for students to explore their curiosity. Through mixed-age homerooms and playtime, Kino children learn how to see each other as people, work together, and collaborate. It’s never too early for children to learn accountability and teamwork. Having broad age ranges in their homerooms helps students to understand where they fit in the broader context of the community. As they develop bonds in homeroom, they also develop empathy and understanding. 
​
​
Kino students come to understand that their teachers are their allies, not authority figures who will punish them if they don’t fit into a box. Our goal is to create a social structure based on cooperation, participation, and responsibility.
