Second Grade

Private Elementary School for Kids Starting at 7 Years

Second grade is important not only for academic growth but also for developing crucial social and emotional skills. At Safari Kid, our second-grade program for kids starting at 7 years is designed to provide a way to grow academically and foster important skills and values students can carry for a lifetime. With an engaging curriculum, modern classrooms, and qualified educators, we are committed to helping your child flourish and prepare for their future.

Unlock Potential with Whole Child Development

Through whole child development and use of the Socratic Method, we help students meet and exceed the Grade 2 Common Core State Standards, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a love for learning. In second grade, students build on first-grade concepts and expand their knowledge in all subjects while exploring new interests with our teachers' guidance.

With our second-grade program, your student will focus on the following:

Cognitive Development: Our program offers hands-on experiments and research-based projects to encourage curiosity and critical thinking. We continue to use sensory and tactile experiences to further develop spatial reasoning and mathematical skills.
Language and Literacy Development: We introduce public speaking opportunities alongside ongoing storytelling and group discussions. Reading comprehension is strengthened through more complex discussions about story elements and making predictions.
Social and Emotional Development: We focus on developing emotional intelligence through collaborative projects and group discussions. Hands-on experiments encourage critical thinking, preparing students for independent inquiry and problem-solving.
Physical Development: We emphasize the development of strength and endurance through various outdoor sports and games. Indoor activities continue to refine balance and spatial awareness while promoting teamwork and sportsmanship.
Health and Care: Our wellness approach involves deepening our understanding of proper nutrition. We also focus on mindfulness and yoga, incorporating advanced self-regulation techniques like perspective-taking and calming exercises.

We strive to help our students become active learners, leading their educational journey and contributing positively to their community. Academic excellence is important, but we also prioritize the development of character traits to provide a well-rounded education.
