The two primary goals of the Superkids program are to produce independent readers and writers and to provide outstanding literary and character building selections. Progress is evaluated in oral reading, fluency, comprehension, spelling, and vocabulary growth. Fiction, animal tales, biographical stories, scripture reading and poetry are genres incorporated into the reading and writing program.

This rigorous program balances conceptual understanding with math procedures and application. Each lesson offers digital math tools, modeling, differentiation and real life application.

Hands-on activities give students a multi-sensory approach to learning science in the world around them.
