Our Thoughtfully Curated Curriculum
At Roots and Wings Learning Circle, we believe that exceptional learning happens when children engage with carefully selected, high-quality educational materials in a supportive environment. Our curriculum reflects our commitment to balancing academic excellence with joyful discovery.
We’ve intentionally chosen programs that accommodate different learning styles, foster deep understanding rather than rote memorization, and allow for personalization to meet each child where they are. Our integrated approach helps children make meaningful connections across subjects, developing both core academic skills and the capacity for creative, independent thinking.
Each element of our curriculum has been selected not only for its effectiveness but also for how it aligns with our values of nurturing curiosity, building community, and creating confident learners who are prepared for whatever path they choose.
English Language Arts – Our ELA program combines the personalized, adaptive approach of Lexia with the joy-filled writing philosophy of Brave Writer. This powerful combination develops confident readers and writers who express themselves with clarity and creativity.
Mathematics – We employ the renowned Singapore Math curriculum, known worldwide for building strong conceptual understanding through its concrete-pictorial-abstract approach. Students develop both computational fluency and deep mathematical thinking.
Science– Through Seasons Afield, our science studies connect children directly with the natural world. Learners engage in seasonal observations, hands-on experiments, and nature journaling that foster authentic scientific inquiry and environmental stewardship.
Geography & Social Studies – Our integrated approach to geography and social studies using Beautiful Books helps children understand their place in the world and the rich tapestry of human cultures. Through maps, stories, and project-based learning, students develop global awareness and cultural appreciation.
Character Development – Using the Teaching Character framework from Beautiful Books, we intentionally nurture essential virtues and social-emotional skills. Students explore concepts like empathy, responsibility, and perseverance through literature, discussion, and real-world application.
Enrichment – We round out our curriculum with regular activities focused on critical thinking and mindfulness. These practices help children develop focus, perspective-taking abilities, and problem-solving skills that serve them both academically and throughout life. Our approach values both academic excellence and the development of the whole child, creating a learning environment where curiosity flourishes and children develop the skills and character to navigate life with confidence.
