Clark School serves our Kindergarten, Multiage, and Grade One students. Our curriculum at these grade levels encompasses Reading and Writing, Math, Science and Social Studies. Students also participate in Physical Education, Music, Art and Library. Kindergarten provides a common base upon which to build skills and strategies necessary for first grade. These first experiences aim to facilitate, through interaction with others, the extension of the child's world beyond her/himself. The child's success during these first years sets the mood for the years of schooling ahead.
