Elementary Education

Starting with the second grade, children become much more curious. As they progress through to the sixth grade, they learn the importance of working in groups and begin to conduct basic research. Our faculty will prepare you with the pedagogy necessary to develop the emotional and intellectual abilities of these children.

The program is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education and recognized by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
