Upper Elementary: Grades 4, 5, & 6

MAA offers an unparalleled education for children from Preschool through Grade 6. Dedicated to educating the whole child in an academically challenging environment, MAA celebrates the individuality of each student, nurturing them to discover their passions and reach their fullest potential while building a strong foundation for secondary school and beyond.

 

Students gain a rich and balanced education in core academic disciplines—mathematics, reading, writing, science, and foreign language—while engaging in technology integration, project-based learning, and creative problem-solving. Instruction emphasizes critical thinking, collaboration, and the joy of discovery, inspiring students to become active, curious learners.

 

Guided by a devoted faculty, students are encouraged to trust their abilities, build self-confidence, and take academic risks that lead to growth. Recognizing that each child learns differently, teachers employ a variety of instructional strategies to support diverse learning styles. Students work both independently and collaboratively, developing the interpersonal and communication skills that are essential for lifelong success.

 

The focus of the Upper Elementary program is to foster independence, personal and academic responsibility, and a deepening awareness of the world and each student’s role within it. Students begin to assume greater ownership of their learning by using planners to organize assignments and manage deadlines, and by transitioning between classrooms for different subjects. Their growth is evident in their developing time management, organization, and self-direction—hallmarks of increasing maturity and autonomy as learners.
