Lower Division (Grades K-4)

Swift School Lower Division serves students in grades K-4 where emphasis is based on building confident, knowledgeable individuals. Students are encouraged to participate fully, to take risks, to be self-advocates and to create lasting memories. Our enriching, engaging, and challenging curriculum prepares students for success. Students, parents, and teachers work collaboratively and play an important role in helping children reach their greatest potential.

An Immersive Approach

The Lower Division instructional programming was developed with intention and purpose to grow the whole student; that includes academic and social emotional learning. The immersive approach means that the whole school experience is designed so that language skill development is intensive and continuous throughout all subject areas. Current research is utilized to deliver instruction in structured literacy using the Orton-Gillingham Approach, multisensory math, knowledge-based language arts, and investigation-led science and social studies lessons.

Each class benefits from two highly qualified teachers who utilize a data driven model to instruct students in both small and large groups in all subject areas. The immersive experience goes beyond remediation to exploratory classes. Programming is designed to provide opportunities to explore a variety of areas such as art, PE, music, drama, and STEAM. Field trips enrich our educational programming by providing additional experiential learning opportunities. Teachers utilize technology throughout their day with the use of iPads, Chromebooks, and smart TVs. Students collaborate, create, and expand their knowledge while learning 21st century skills needed for the future.

Swift offers social emotional learning and life skills instruction which further creates a bridge between academic success and social development. Our students learn to be part of a team, cooperate, and navigate the world around them through modeling, play, and guided interaction.
