Full Day Kindergarten Expands Learning Opportunities

Quest Academy – The state of Illinois does not require public schools to offer a full day Kindergarten.  At Quest Academy, our full day Kindergarten provides students differentiated instruction in mathematics, language arts, and social studies.  Acceleration based on individual student needs is part of math activities, reading, writing, and much more.  A maximum class size of 15 provides an ideal learning environment where students can engage in lively class discussions and play with like-minded peers.

All students start their Kindergarten year with the First Grade level math program, begin multi-step problem solving, and writing about math strategies.  Literature groups explore reading, comprehension, and the purpose of text at the students’ individual instructional level.  Students are writing to communicate thoughts, stories and ideas effectively through the use of literary devices and punctuation.  In social studies, students study community structures, the effect of geography and climate on human populations, ecosystems of Antarctica and U.S. symbols and figures.

Kindergarten students have specialized instruction three times per week in: science, physical education, art and music.  Students study French twice per week.  Drama, library and technology classes are once a week with additional opportunities available to use the library and computer lab as needed.
