The Anthony School curriculum is advanced at all levels and has been designed to provide continuity in the development of skills and knowledge from early childhood through eighth grade. The curriculum is integrated across academic disciplines. Students must use their knowledge to think abstractly and analytically to solve problems. Therefore, subject matter is more meaningful, and academic skill mastery is the result. Measurement of first through eighth academic growth is assessed with the Stanford Achievement Test each spring.
Physical education, music, art, Spanish, and technology classes play an integral part in developing the creative, physical, and social intelligences. These specialized subjects begin in the three-year classes and continue through the eighth grade. Spanish, music and art are offered as electives in the seventh and eighth grades.
Because each student is unique, teaching and learning cannot be a standardized process. The goal is to make it possible for every student to experience the excitement of challenge and the reward of mastery. Students demonstrate the breadth and depth of their progress and performance with oral presentations and multi-media projects which require the application of knowledge to real-life problems.
