Core Classes
Math
Our elementary math program, is designed to cultivate a deep understanding of mathematical concepts, following the highly acclaimed Singapore Math philosophy through the Primary Mathematics curriculum. By following the Singapore Math philosophy, students develop a deep and lasting understanding of mathematics. They learn not only how to perform calculations but also why mathematical concepts work, setting a strong foundation for future academic success and problem-solving skills in everyday life. Students will be assigned weekly homework to practice and reinforce the lessons and skills learned. Students can choose to be in a Math level equal to or one grade level below their current grade. Placement tests can be found here.

The curriculum provides students with the tools to express their thoughts clearly and effectively while developing a solid understanding of grammar, sentence structure, and the writing process. Students take writing & grammar three days a week to complete their yearlong curriculum with no homework. ​

Experiment Based Science
HighTouch HighTech is a locally owned company that has provided engaging, hands-on science experiments and lessons in Palm Beach County for over 25 years. A team of scientists create a year long program of experiments and teach the subject each week integrating the cycle of science we are studying. Passionate scientists engage the students and foster a love for all science subjects through each weekly experiment. All science costs/materials are included in tuition.

Cycle SY25-26: Earth Science
History
While history never appears on any college entrance testing, wisdom & virtue is at the top of CHEC's mind to develop in the short time we have our students. Each week in their history class that corresponds with the 4 cycles of CHEC (Ancient, Medieval, Early Modern and Modern), the class will explore the highlights of the era doing shorter unit studies on topics using living books. There is no homework from this class and parents are free to use a history curriculum at home.
​
Curriculum: History of the World - Medieval Times
Elective Classes
L.I.F.E in Theatre
Learning Intentional Fun Exercises
Theater has been a part of the education process for thousands of years. Participation in theater improves self esteem, teaches empathy and teamwork, increases academic motivation and performance and above all gives the students the chance to fail, get back up and try again in a safe environment. Our elementary students learn, study all aspects of stage production, costuming, lighting, sound and perform a full Christmas play in the fall session.
Sport Skills
Remember the good ole’ days in PE where you learned all different sports throughout the year? We have designed our sports program to model old school PE classes. They might play kickball, volleyball, baseball, jump rope, fencing, dance, martial arts, obstacle courses, archery and more. Students take PE once a week at West Boynton Park and Recreation Center and are shuttled to/from the Center in our CHEC vans.
STEM
Students rotate through different STEM topics such as LEGO® Robotics, coding, animation, drones, circuitry and much more. Our hands-on tools make learning playful, engaging and relevant while developing students’ ability for critical thinking, communication and 21st century skills. Using the same programs and technology that are used in schools across the country give our students a competitive edge.
Art
A study done on Florida students that took in-school arts classes and/or private arts classes throughout their school career showed significantly higher scores on their college placement tests in the verbal and and increased scores on their math. Hundreds, if not thousands, of years of evidence support the link between participating in arts programs and higher academic achievement, deeper appreciation of life, greater capacity to empathize and problem solving abilities. Elementary students take an art class each week .
Music
Students learn the basics of music theory in a fun-filled class. They also learn and study classical composers and pieces of classical music to further their appreciation of beautiful music. The class coordinates with calendar holidays and learn the historical songs that we all remember.
Chess
CHEC loves Chess. Whereas most schools with a chess program don't begin until 2nd or 3rd grade, we begin in 1st grade. Children are taught the history, basics and how to play a game without errors and as they improve they are instructed on strategy and algebraic notation. A pastime at CHEC, you will see CHEC kids playing chess together in STEM class, math games, open play days and other down times. Since the whole school learns how to play together there's never a shortage of other people to play with at any CHEC event.
Sewing
CHEC's sewing course is designed for students to learn the fundamentals of sewing, including fabric selection, stitching techniques, and operating a sewing machine. Throughout the course, students will work on hands-on projects such as creating simple accessories, garments, and home decor items, building their confidence and skills. By the end, students will have a solid foundation in sewing and a collection of unique, handmade projects to showcase their newfound talents.
SHOP
In CHEC's SHOP class, students will explore a variety of tools and techniques used in woodworking, metalworking, and other hands-on crafts. They will have the opportunity to work on individual and group projects, learning to measure, cut, shape, and assemble materials with precision and care. Upon completion of the course, students will have gained valuable practical skills and completed projects that demonstrate their craftsmanship and creativity.
