PPA, Jr. limits class sizes to 18 students. PPA, Jr. does not use school averages for calculating student enrollment, once we reach capacity in a classroom, we do not accept additional students.
How many students are in each grade?
Currently, we have 4 classes in each grade level.
What will a student’s typical day look like?
A typical daily schedule can be found at the Typical Day page of this site. In general, we break the day into three academic blocks, one that is primarily for Language Arts / Reading, one for math, and the third for science / social studies. However, even though they are primarily used for these subjects, it is important to note that our methods mean that all of the subjects will be integrated together during all of the blocks. Specials, such as art, music, physical education, and Spanish will be interspersed between the blocks throughout the week.
Will my child change classes?
No, primary classes are self-contained classrooms, where the student will have one main teacher whol teaches the core content areas. The students will however go to specialists throughout the week (Spanish, music, art, and physical education). While the classroom teacher will be the primary instructor, we do have several times throughout the year where projects incorporate multiple classes together, where a class works with another class, and the teachers team teach lessons.
