Early Childhood: Astronomy Integrated Studies Unit

Each trimester, PCS students across all grade levels embark on a shared unit of Integrated Study. The school studies a shared topic — this trimester, Astronomy — and each class finds its own theme within the topic to explore. The Integrated Unit brings together multiple disciplines in hands-on, project based learning in each class, and the shared topic amplifies learning across grade levels, as multi-age learners collaborate.

Early Childhood’s playful, interactive classroom was immediately engaging to visitors during the Celebration of Learning. Watch below as older students tour the room:
