Fourth grade is a memorable year full of fun experiences and lots of learning. Every fourth-grader gets a teacher mentor to help them plan for their future. This mentorship gets students thinking about their future careers. We offer engaging enrichment classes to broaden student’s thinking. It’s a year when students get to go deeper into independent learning.
