The administration, faculty, staff, parents and community of Goldie Maple Academy are committed to provide a safe and nurturing environment for our children, where a love of learning fosters success and allows children to reach their full academic potential.
Goldie Maple Academy opened its doors to students from grade Pre-K to 4th in September of 2006. As of September 2010, we are currently a full Pre-K through 8th grade building including our first graduating class. All students are selected through our application process. Grades K- 6 have one class at each grade level designated as an ASTRE(gifted) class. Students for the ASTRE classes will be selected through the ASTRE screening process. Students for the remaining classes at the kindergarten through grade 6 levels will be selected through School Choice. We have a full day session for all classes, including the pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs. Goldie Maple Academy prides itself on its unique curriculum, small class sizes and family oriented surroundings. Classes in grades 3-8 utilize a departmentalized curriculum which allows for individualized instruction from content specific faculty. Below is a listing by grade of the Core Knowledge curriculum addressed throughout the year.
The instructional program of the Goldie Maple Academy is Core Knowledge, a nationally recognized research-based school reform model, which advocates a curriculum that is designed to present a coherent sequence of skills and knowledge that build cumulatively year by year. This sequential building of knowledge not only helps ensure that children enter each new grade ready to learn, but also helps prevent the many repetitions and gaps. Grade-by-grade sequencing of topics is important because it gives teachers some assurance that children will come prepared with a shared core of knowledge and skills, and because children learn more effectively when instruction follows the basic psychological principle that we learn new knowledge by building on what we already know.Due to the hard work of Goldie Maple Academy's administration, faculty and staff we are official recognized as one of the only 2 official Core Knowlede visitiation sites in New York State.
