构建声音和视点

Harkness Tables provide one of the simplest yet most effective methods for 上学校 students to build confidence in expressing views and engaging in healthy debate. Rooted in the Socratic method of stimulating critical thinking through cooperative dialogue and a continuous exchange of question and answer, classroom experiences involving Harkness tables encourage each participant to contribute to discussions, 互相挑战, 为观点辩护. 大, 椭圆形的桌子用于人文学科课程，是讨论文学作品的理想之选, 对历史事件的解释提出质疑, 以及其他基于讨论的动态.

最适合识字学习的地方

Alphabetia is our unique setting dedicated to teaching and advancing reading skills in K–2nd Grade. 在这片神奇的土地上,年轻的学生学习字母, 辅音, 元音, 通过互动游戏和与木偶的互动来表达, 音乐, 和舞蹈. 这个程序使幼儿学习者将阅读视为新的冒险的门户, 更好地了解他们的世界, 以及一种持续愉快的活动和生活技能.

共同学习的科学

孩子教孩子 (KTK) is a popular program connecting our youngest students with our oldest ones for all kinds of fun science projects.

PreK and Kindergarten students travel to the 比尔德创新中心 and pair up with 上学校 students to create 3D glasses, 工艺日晷, 进行实验, 看看科学到底有多令人兴奋. 较低的学校 students get to spend time learning from students who they regard as the "rock stars" of GA, while older Patriots get to share their enthusiasm for science and serving as a mentor and 老师.

KTK项目对我的孩子们来说不仅仅是一个科学活动. The opportunity to go across campus and collaborate with the "big kids" on cool projects all year long is definitely a highlight of their time in 较低的学校. ——Josh Albert P'26 '30
