About
Our Program
The Alpha School operates 12 hours per day, 260 days per year, serving children ages 3-12 years old. The building can accommodate 100 children at any given time. Summer programs as well as before and after school are available for school aged children.
Classroom Curriculum
A staff of well-trained teachers and assistants view the environment as the curriculum, thus everything is planned with the child in mind. Within the environment, the children will experience the joys of learning thorough teacher-directed experience and the freedom of choice with enriched learning activities. The Creative Curriculum is used and supplemented with Scott Foresman Reading Street Curriculum. The Creative Curriculum is a comprehensive resource for establishing and sustaining a quality preschool program. The Scott Foresman supplemental curriculum is used to provide instruction, improve oral language skills, phonological awareness, print awareness, alphabet knowledge, and comprehension. Scott Foresman is used by the district as the core reading program grades K-6. The preschool student will gain pre-literacy skills that lay foundation for the future reading success.
