Events
Elementary II at Bay Farm is a collaborative and student-centered learning environment for 4th, 5th, and 6th graders.
Students embrace more significant issues and challenges, more abstract concepts, and greater responsibility than before. In ELII, students develop the skills necessary to build a classroom community that is supportive, inclusive, and respectful of individual ideas and learning.
With Bay Farm’s integrated curriculum, they do more complex research and demonstrate their growing knowledge and skills through the many avenues of expression: creative and expository writing, art, music, and drama.
