Every day, our elementary students learn through doing, building real skills, strong character, and lasting friendships.
In our elementary classrooms, teachers know every child's strengths, learning style, and personality. With small class sizes in grades 1-5, your child gets individualized instruction, real relationships with their teachers, and the confidence that comes from being truly known. No one slips through the cracks here.
Our A.N.C.H.O.R.S. values framework is woven into every elementary classroom, every day. Students practice accountability, civility, honesty, and resilience through real situations, not worksheets. By the time they leave elementary, they have the character and confidence to take on middle school and beyond.
Elementary students at CFP measure ingredients in our culinary kitchen, grow vegetables in our campus garden, build and code in our PLTW STEM lab, and explore ecosystems in our outdoor learning center. When 1st-5th graders experience what they're learning with their hands, they remember it for life.
Strong academics come first, but your elementary student is more than a test score. Beyond the classroom, they have access to PLTW STEM labs, performing arts, farm-to-table culinary experiences, outdoor learning, and A.N.C.H.O.R.S. character development. Your child will find their thing here and probably discover new passions they didn't know they had.
