As children grow into the elementary grade levels and into the middle years, the Roosevelt Curriculum unfolds with inquiry-focused learning designed with competitive international academic standards and exploratory offerings in the fine and performing arts, technology and innovation, visits to one of three libraries, Spanish language studies, and physical education and aquatics and health, wellness and social emotional learning.
