DEDICATED TO YOUNG LEARNERS

From cradle to grade 8, the students of Congressional benefit from a clear and constant focus on them and their needs. It's an exuberant, intimate, safe learning environment, where kids can be kids, parents can be involved, and everyone can be seen and heard.

ADVANTAGES OF A SCHOOL PRESCHOOL - 8TH GRADE SCHOOL

A preschool - 8th grade environment, where middle school students make a school transition after 8th grade, provides tremendous opportunities. Our entire focus is building a strong educational foundation in our students, thus preparing them for their future wherever they may go.

And choosing where to attend high school is probably the first big decision students face. It enables them to ponder who they are and the kind of environment that would best suit them at an age that is appropriate to begin contemplating those types of questions. It is like a trial run for college admissions, giving them confidence when that time comes.

A Thanksgiving Day Parade

Students in Kindergarten-Grade 2 learned about Tony Sarg, the puppeteer who created the original Macy's Day Parade. Our students decided it would be fun to host their own parade through the hallways. They created floats and decorations and were cheered on by classmates as they paraded by.

Fun & Learning in STEM Class

Second graders have been learning about Indigenous Environmentalist Ciarra Greene and her work with uranium storage and transportation. Uranium is often associated with a green color due to its fluorescence when exposed to ultraviolet light. As a fun activity, the students made slime inspired by uranium's vibrant green color. Using baking soda, glitter, green food coloring, glue, and contact solution, students were able to play with their own ooey-gooey, sparkly green slime!

Music With Our Youngest

At Congressional, we don't wait to get children started on a journey of musical appreciation. Even our youngest learners have dedicated classes with an experienced music educator, learning about rhythm, trying out instruments, singing, and loving every moment of it.

Art Integration Across the Curriculum

We integrate academic disciplines across the subject areas at Congressional School, and art is no exception. In social studies class, students learned about US geography regions, wrote stories about journeying through the five areas, and created 3D maps depicting their stories using acrylic paint and sculpting techniques.

BUDDY DAYS

Every preschool - grade 8 student is paired with a buddy for the entire school year to get to know, play with, and do fun activities during monthly buddy activity time. Younger grades love the attention of older students, and older students step up and carry themselves as role models. It allows everyone to be the kids they are and makes our whole campus feel like one big family.
