Friendship PCS - Ideal Elementary

Open Since 2019 Grades PK3 - 3
Led by a community of seasoned and supportive teachers, Ideal Elementary builds on its early-learning program in the elementary (kindergarten-3) and middle (4-8) grades. Friendship Ideal’s early-learning approach for grades pre-K3-4 is guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy that children are extraordinarily capable and the world is their classroom. Our rigorous academic curriculum develops strong foundations in English and language arts, foreign language, mathematics, science, social studies, arts education, and other subject areas. Project-based learning that investigates real-world problems helps students grow the content knowledge, social awareness and self-motivation needed to succeed in high school, college and beyond.
