OUR ACADEMICS

Our unique curriculum aims to cultivate a love of learning and deep appreciation for nature, community, and the world around us. PHSSA curriculum features:
  • hands-on environmental learning and inspiration in our neighboring Forest Hill and James River Parks and in our amazing gardens
  • interdisciplinary approach to teaching all subjects
  • emphasis on environmental science as a core subject
  • integrated classroom academics with art instruction - arts are woven throughout instruction
  • sustained learning through progressive year-round calendar and small class sizes​

The integrated curriculum at PHSSA is grounded in the Virginia state SOLs.  All subjects - language arts, math, social studies, science, and the arts - are taught through authentic connections.
