Primary and Elementary
School
Kindergarten - 5th Grade
Blended learning and small group instruction are the hallmarks of the classroom in these grades.
CAB provides a nurturing and engaging environment that fosters academic, social, and emotional growth. There is a strong focus on foundational skills, individualized learning, positive relationships with teachers, and a safe, supportive community.
Students in the primary grades receive the full benefit of the entire Academy curriculum, including an introduction to Spanish through cultural exposure to various Spanish-speaking countries around the world.

A strong focus is placed on early math skills and literacy at these grades, with science and social studies woven cross-curricularly through grade 3, and taught more independently beginning in grade 4.
-
Beginning in grade 1, students begin using i-Ready, an adaptive diagnostic software program that identifies and tracks foundational skills in reading and math for individual students, and used by teachers to inform their instruction.

CAB families often tell us our school is like a second home - we look forward to welcoming you home!
*Kindergarten: We prefer children to be 5 years old by September 1. However, exceptions to this rule are occasionally made at the discretion of the principal and upon evaluation, as a private school we are not required to adhere to CT state requirements.
