Magnolia School, The

The Magnolia School’s theme-based learning approach is designed to teach students to make natural connections. Each year, the staff selects different themes (mosaics, Persia, the Industrial Revolution, and energy, for example) and develops a curriculum that integrates the “big ideas” and concepts of language arts, social studies, science, and math. Language arts and math also are taught separately, with lessons reinforced during theme study.
