Kingsway’s Elementary Education
Program takes place at our Haddonfield campus and is designed for students with multiple learning or developmental challenges, from ages 5 to 13. The program focuses on developing academics, functional daily living skills and social skills, with related services provided according to each child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP). Related services available include human services, speech-language therapy, occupational and physical therapy and nursing services.
Elementary School Curriculum
Small classes and a staff-to-student ratio of one-to-two ensure that all our students get the personalized instruction and attention they need. Our family-like atmosphere promotes a comfortable environment where students’ strengths and abilities are nurtured and accentuated. Growing and learning together, students develop close relationships with teachers, staff members, and of course, other classmates.
Academics
Primary special education classes follow a traditional elementary curriculum, based on the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards. Programs are tailored specifically to meet the child’s individual needs and abilities, as directed by his or her IEP. Whether they are learning their letters or their multiplication tables, Kingsway students enjoy a full range of academic subjects and functional daily living skills. Students also have use of the latest computer technology in their classrooms. For students ages 11 to 13, our Experiential Academics program is structured so that a portion of each school day is spent in a traditional classroom setting, and another part is spent learning functional life skills. Practical hands-on experiences provide students with lifelong academic, social and behavioral skills. For example, a trip to the grocery store not only teaches them how to handle money, purchase items and travel safely to the store, but it also gives them self-confidence, putting them on a path toward independence and self-sufficiency.
Enrichment Activities
Like all school-age children, Kingsway elementary students need positive outlets for their energy and enthusiasm. We provide our students with numerous activities and special events that expand their learning experiences such as adaptive physical education, music classes, assemblies, field trips and, of course, daily recess on our special needs accommodated outdoor playground. Developing social skills is a vital part of a child’s educational experience. Students are encouraged daily to interact with their classmates and friends during lunchtime. They also enjoy participating in dances, student art exhibits, a special Symphony Program from Symphony in C and other educational and entertaining assemblies. These activities enable students to enrich their educational experience beyond the classroom walls. Also, please see the “Special Olympics” section to see how Kingsway students combine fun and fitness.
