Environmental and Animal Science
Frontier Elementary’s Environmental and Animal Science curriculum includes the study of
life, physical, earth, space, and environmental science. Outdoor science labs incorporate
hands on science inquiry along with the latest research technology. Students participate in a
school–yard garden and each grade level conducts scientific investigations into a particular
small animal habitat. In addition to the academic skills developed through gardening,
students also learn about the nutritional value of foods and participate in cooking.
Environmental Science and Field Research
This program offers students the opportunity to become Young Environmental Stewards
(YES!). Students will explore and evaluate challenges and concerns related to their
environment: gopher tortoise preservation, ecosystem restoration, recycling, sustainable
gardening providing healthy food options, aquatic life protection, and energy conservation.
This hands–on, high–interest, experiential learning builds student awareness of their
responsibility of protecting and caring for the environment.
Health and Science Exploration
The Health and Science Exploration Program offers an innovative, integrated curriculum
designed to provide basic skills in laboratory sciences and health science related careers.
This comprehensive program combines a rigorous academic curriculum in the areas of
Health, Medicine, and Wellness. This is an exploratory program for students in grades K-5
with a high interest in basic medical and health sciences. Special topics include health and
wellness, basic anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, prevention of disease, and
general healthcare. Each trimester covers a distinct focus, helping students engage with
a broad spectrum of subjects within medicine, health science, and overall wellness. This
allows students to explore career options early on, develop essential skills, and nurture
their interest in health and science.
Health and Wellness
The Health and Wellness program embraces the education of the whole child. We encourage
all students to grow and learn with a sound mind and healthy body. All students set
academic and wellness goals. They participate in daily activities and receive weekly lessons
in the Wellness lab. Clubs and aftercare activities focus on a healthy lifestyle, including
sports clubs, mindfulness, music, friendship and inclusion activities. Parent involvement
and family nights incorporate health and wellness for the whole family. Our health and
wellness program helps each child develop life-long habits of health and wellness through
physical, nutritional, and mental health initiatives that enhance their academic performance
and personal experience at school.
International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (IBPYP) curricular framework
focuses on the development of the whole child in a learning environment that encourages
independence, academic challenges, inquiry, creativity, and responsible citizenship. This
in an internationally designed concept–based model with guidelines on student learning
styles, methodologies and assessment strategies. The PYP is a combination of the best
research and practices from international schools and includes the study of world languages
and cultures to enhance the international perspective.
