Junior Program Grades 2 to 5
Growing confident, capable, and independent learners
The Junior Program (Grades 2–5) is a time of important growth—academically, socially, and emotionally.
At Summit Micro School, we support students as they begin to better understand themselves, how they learn, and how they relate to others. With guidance and encouragement, they develop confidence, independence, and a strong sense of responsibility for their learning.
In a supportive and inclusive environment, students feel a true sense of belonging as they explore their interests, build meaningful relationships, and grow through new challenges.
Project-Based Learning
Project-Based Learning is a cornerstone of the Junior Program, giving students the opportunity to learn through meaningful, hands-on experiences.
Through this approach, students:
Explore questions that spark their curiosity
Work collaboratively and learn from one another
Make connections across different subjects
Share their ideas and learning in creative ways
With the support of educators, students also learn to plan, reflect, and take ownership of their work—building confidence and independence over time.
Language and Math
Building strong academic foundations with confidence and clarity
In the Junior Program, students develop literacy and math skills through a personalized approach that meets them where they are and supports their growth.
We focus on:
Building a deep understanding of concepts
Strengthening confidence in reading, writing, and math
Developing problem-solving and critical thinking skills
Encouraging independence and strong learning habits
As students progress, they gain clarity in their learning and begin to see themselves as capable, confident learners.
Social-Emotional Learning
Social-emotional learning is an essential part of daily life in the Junior Program.
Students are supported to:
Build self-awareness and express their emotions
Develop emotional regulation and resilience
Form strong, respectful relationships
Practice empathy, communication, and collaboration
Through daily routines and shared experiences, students develop a strong sense of connection, trust, and belonging within the classroom community.
