Farm
The Waverly organic farm, located within walking distance from the school, is a one-acre multi-purpose green space for students, teach­ers, and fami­lies. The farm provides weekly oppor­tu­ni­ties for learn­ing, play, and collab­o­ra­tion for every class at the elemen­tary school. Students partic­i­pate in age-appro­pri­ate farm work includ­ing plant­ing, weeding, compost­ing, build­ing, and taking care of the chickens.

Physical Education
Chil­dren love to move their bodies, and the curricu­lum at Waverly allows for move­ment of various sorts through­out the day. Elemen­tary School students enjoy time with our phys­i­cal educa­tion special­ist twice a week.

Music
Students are intro­duced to keyboard, guitar, ukulele, and percus­sion instru­ments. The empha­sis is on chil­dren finding joy in creat­ing music as they learn to play songs and sing. 

Art
In art, students explore a wide variety of media and are intro­duced to many artists and genres.
Spanish
Elemen­tary students receive lessons in Spanish begin­ning in preschool. Students learn and become famil­iar with the language through music, dance, games, art projects, story­books, and cultural activ­i­ties. The curricu­lum is designed to inte­grate language skills into our every­day class­room, excite students about Spanish, and intro­duce skills that will provide the support and repe­ti­tion chil­dren need to learn a language.

Student Support
At Waverly, supporting students is a shared responsibility. Our Student Support Team collaborates with teachers, advisors, counselors, school leaders, and families to create a community where every student can learn, grow, and thrive.
