Subjects that fit Walnut students

Every Walnut student is in a grade-level musical each year, which means learning lines, reading a script and performing it. That's reading fluency in action, and reading and phonics sessions build the same skill. Writing and elementary math cover the rest of the K–5 standards before students move on to Sequoia's IB Middle Years Programme.
