Second Grade

Confident, curious, focused, and having fun!

These are the defining qualities of the second graders at Stratford School. There’s a sense of purpose and structure to the school day that lets students know what to expect, and helps them create high expectations for themselves.

Second graders are immersed in Core Knowledge classes in math, vocabulary, grammar, reading and writing every day - building sequentially on skills they gained in first grade. Learning study skills and completing homework are essential to success at Stratford, but students find joy in the challenge.

From early on, Stratford helps students develop socially and emotionally too, providing these necessary bookends to their academic success.
