Bromley East Curriculum
Bromley East Charter School is a tuition free-public charter school within the Brighton 27J School District. The E.D. Hirsch Core Knowledge Curriculum and Colorado State Standards are the cornerstones of our curriculum. Students in grades K-5 have a unique opportunity to participate in either the Core Knowledge or Montessori Curriculum.
We also offer elective programs including art, physical education, general music, instrumental band, S.T.E.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math), Speech and Debate, Library Media and more! Students participate in field trips, assemblies, and guest speakers which enrich the curriculum.
Core Knowledge
The K-8 curriculum will follow the Core Knowledge Sequence. This curriculum was developed to provide students with a rich vocabulary and broad knowledge base on which future instruction can build. Students develop self-confidence and knowledge necessary for higher levels of learning.
The core concepts are organized to spiral through the grade levels, becoming more sophisticated and detailed in each successive grade. Students retain information much longer and obtain skills more easily when meaningful content is combined with the teaching of skills. Bromley East emphasizes the teaching of basic skills with a traditional approach in reading and mathematics. Emphasis is placed on the basic foundations necessary for an academically sound education.
Montessori
The Montessori Method of teaching aims for the fullest possible development of the whole child. Our Montessori teachers are trained facilitators in the classroom, always ready to assist and direct. Their purpose is to stimulate the child’s enthusiasm for learning and to guide it, without interfering with the child’s natural desire to teach him/her and become independent. Each child works through his/her individual cycle of activities, and learns to truly understand according to his/her own unique needs and capabilities.
Home/School Communication
Friday Folders will be sent home weekly. Parents are expected to review the contents and return the signed acknowledgement form. In addition, parents are encouraged to contact their child’s classroom teacher(s) directly with specific concerns.
