ELM´s curriculum is developmental and age-appropriate. The program is designed not only to deliver content, but to also encourage students to become problems solvers, critical thinkers, lifelong learners and global citizens.

We believe that every year spent at ELM provides a unique opportunity for students to learn in an environment that provides for individual learning needs.

Students in Upper School attend school from 8:00 AM to 3:00PM.

The program provides a challenging academic curriculum while addressing the intellectual and personal changes that students experience at this age.

Students strengthen their independent learning skills and begin to pursue specific interests within a supportive environment. The learning at this level is also characterized by regular homework, research, and a strong commitment to service.

The program of studies includes subject areas such as: Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, Science, Art, Technology, Dance, P.E. and additional English support in ESL.

In all grades children will learn to work and interact together cooperatively and to respect each other and their planet.

Students who remain beyond Grade 9 will study some courses through an online high school program with an ELM teacher providing supervisory support.
