• Science: Fourth grade students tend to be incredibly curious about the natural world around us. Our fourth grade science course aims to nurture this curiosity through the study of plants, animals, habitats, human body systems, and weather patterns. Students are also introduced to physics and technology.
• Social Studies: Grade 4 Social Studies focuses on regional landforms, climates, maps, and natural resources across the United States. The course also teaches students about the country’s government, history, and cultures.
