CAM Academy

• The CAM Academy Primary School Program consists of two third-grade classrooms and two fourth-grade classrooms.
• Class sizes vary between 24 – 26 students per teacher.
• Students see both grade-level classroom teachers for academic instruction.
• Classes meet on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday for reading, language arts, math, social studies, and science.
• Wednesday is called an “off-site learning day” and is used to support the home component of the program.
• In addition to classroom instruction, students will have assignments associated with the classroom instruction and the independent learning contracts for health/fitness and visual/performing arts that they work on each week at home. This home component requires consistent parent participation and support.
