Adventurer Curriculum
The Adventurer curriculum is divided into four levels.
- The Busy Bee level is designed for first-graders.
- The Sunbeam level for second-graders.
- The Builder for third-graders
- The Helping Hand level for fourth-graders.
Each level builds on the levels which came before it and is especially designed to interest, challenge, and provide successful experiences for children of that grade level.
