Our private elementary school builds on what students learn in preschool with a balanced program: structured academics alongside art, music, and social-emotional learning. Students develop strong academic skills through group projects that promote critical thinking and collaborative teamwork, while growing as curious, confident individuals.
Students learn to solve problems, share ideas, and engage in meaningful class discussions. Students develop the empathy, responsibility, and confidence to contribute to something bigger than themselves. By connecting their studies to the world around them, they understand that learning has real purpose.
Academic rigor is complemented by the arts in the Stratford elementary curriculum, with elements of STEAM programming woven through each area of instruction.
Elementary students are immersed in Core Knowledge classes in math, vocabulary, grammar, reading and writing every day – building sequentially on skills throughout the program.
Elementary students learn to examine all aspects of a problem, ask questions to gain additional information, and work collaboratively to create a solution.
Learning study skills and completing homework are essential to success at Stratford, but students find joy in the challenge.

5th Grade
5th Grade
By fifth grade, our students are confident, prepared, and ready to lead. They’ve built strong study skills and lasting friendships. They approach learning by breaking down complex ideas, asking thoughtful questions, and solving real-world problems as a group and on their own.
In this formative year, they develop and present their first solo Science Fair project. In computer science, students are mastering programs such as Tynker. As the year ends, these young scholars are well-prepared for what comes next in middle school and beyond.
