Curriculum

The curriculum at Belmont Academy Charter School strives to support the unique needs of early childhood learning, balancing foundational academics with social and emotional development. 

Each day, students have opportunities to learn in different settings—large groups, small groups, and individual work—allowing them to make their own choices and work toward personal goals. We support each child’s achievement through tailored activities that match their individual learning style. We aim to keep families involved in their child’s education through regular conferences, home visits, daily communication, and classroom observation opportunities, sharing both goals and strategies to support learning at home. All student goals are based on careful assessment data and regularly updated to address evolving needs while meeting both Pennsylvania Early Learning Standards and Pennsylvania Core Standards.

Our curriculum centers on a blend of self-directed and teacher-guided play. Classrooms are intentionally designed with various learning centers that encourage exploration, choice, and creative play. These centers feature developmentally appropriate materials that allow children to discover and learn independently. Our daily program includes:

• Outdoor free play
• Intentional read-aloud sessions
• Authentic writing opportunities
• Morning meetings

Each of these experiences is purposefully structured to support children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development within a rich, engaging learning environment.
