Individualized foundations
Instruction meets each student at the right level in reading, writing, and mathematics, responding as understanding and independence grow.
Curriculum
Motivation-driven, not test-driven.
Personalized, hands-on learning turns curiosity into understanding, confidence, and independent thought.
Our Method
How Progressive teaches.
Reading, writing, and mathematics are taught at individualized levels. Progressive's proprietary science and social studies curriculum is created in-house and grounded in the materials students investigate firsthand: documents, evidence, labs, and experiments.
Social studies through original sources
Students work directly with firsthand accounts and primary-source documents, building their own understanding rather than following a textbook-led sequence.
Science through investigation
Science is taught mainly through laboratory work, observation, and hands-on investigation, giving students room to test ideas and learn from evidence.
Elementary School K-6
Curiosity becomes a strong foundation.
Students explore through inquiry and hands-on learning. Every child is encouraged to discover their unique potential while building the knowledge and habits that support future study.
Middle School 7-8
Think critically. Work independently.
The middle school curriculum emphasizes critical thinking and collaborative problem-solving within a supportive, character-driven environment. Students grow in independence and self-motivation.
Across Every Grade
Knowledge with responsibility.
Rigorous academic challenges, progressive personal development, and team-based cooperation prepare students to contribute with a sense of global responsibility.
Areas of Study
Broad study. Personal attention.
Rich content, flexibility, and meaningful application shape the work across subjects. Small classes leave room to respond to the child in front of the teacher.
Reading, Writing & Mathematics
These academic foundations are taught at individualized levels, allowing teachers to respond as each student's understanding and independence grow.
Science & Social Studies
Our proprietary science and social studies curriculum cultivates critical thinking, broadens worldview, and ignites intellectual challenge. Social studies begins with firsthand documents; science is taught mainly through labs and hands-on investigation.
Art, Music, Drama, Spanish, Yoga & Meditation
Creative work, language study, movement, and reflection give students more ways to communicate, participate, and understand other perspectives.
Electives & Independent Studies
Students can pursue interests beyond the core curriculum through electives and focused independent study.
Learning in practice.
Project work, events, service, and shared experiences give students concrete ways to test ideas and connect learning to the world.
