Elementary School Daily Schedule

At Citizens of the World Kansas City we strive to create a schedule that works in harmony with children’s developmental levels and needs.  We seek to provide active learning experiences within longer blocks of time so that children can indulge their natural curiosity, maximize their attention spans through full body and mind engagement, and provide for the integration of experiences across the day and week.  Through these strategies, we make understanding possible for all our diverse learners.
​
This is done through a daily schedule similar to the one shared below.  Of course, variations occur based on many variables but the basic framework is reflected here:
