Heatherwood Elementary School's academic strength lies in a balanced and integrated curricular program. Children master and apply literacy and math skills through learning that emphasizes research, problem solving, simulations and technology. The instructional program goes on to teach the use of those skills in higher-level problem solving. Staff and parents foster mutual cooperation, emotional support, and personal and academic growth for all students. Children benefit from flexible classroom settings, team teaching and communications. This school also offers free and tuition preschool classes that have a focus on both academic and developmental learning standards.
