Heterogeneous grouping is utilized throughout the grade levels. Learning is encouraged through a curriculum that is rich, not only in writing activities, but also in speaking and listening activities. 

Deeply embedded in our curriculum is a balanced literacy philosophy, as well as the use of innovative instructional approaches which complement individual learning styles.

The curriculum is reinforced with the following programs:

• Child Development Education Pilot Program (CDEPP) for 40 eligible students
• All-day Kindergarten
• Literacy Groups
• Compass Learning Lab
• Computer Writing Lab
• Accelerated Reader
• Artist-In-Education
• School-wide Mail System
• School Television Station (WCPS)
• Life Skills Character Education Program
• Good Manners Program

Student books are published in the school's publishing center. CDEPP and Kindergarten teachers also prepare learning packets and deliver them on home visits prior to the beginning of school.
