Across all grade levels, instruction will actively engage children in their learning via strategies such as project-based learning. Further, given the technological landscape of the 21st century, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) knowledge has emerged as essential for the future success of today’s children.
For younger children, the addition of the “A” or art in STEAM offers an opportunity to tie together STEM concepts in ways that are interesting and meaningful through projects and activities: creative problem solving, drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, and digital photography.
STEAM curriculum will also focus on literacy development, an essential component of early education, by tying STEM to activities to key areas such as reading, vocabulary development, and oral language.
Based on the grade level, children will engage daily in STEAM activities that tie together learning to the relevant standards-based, core topics, themes, or units. This integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to teaching and learning will include opportunities to engage with the engineering design cycle, collaborate and communicate with their peers, and make connections across subject areas. Further, children will showcase their creations in monthly STEAM nights where families, teachers, administration, and staff will come together as community.
Our grade school’s PE program provides students with a positive learning environment where each student is given the opportunity to feel empowered through fitness and sport. Activities are centered on skill development, lifetime fitness concepts, team building and cooperative learning. Key elements in PE for students in grades Pre-K to Grade 2 include learning important movement foundations such as locomotor moves, throwing, catching, kicking and striking, as well as building important teamwork skills. Key elements for students in grades 3-5 include learning various types of dance, the basics of team sports, positive conflict resolution methods and various elements of physical fitness.
Bedford Academy provides a highly individualized learning program for every student. You’ll witness all your students improve with self‑paced lessons that fill in gaps, move them forward and provide challenges so that they experience success at every stage.
Essential to a child’s education is the development of the knowledge needed to make informed and thoughtful decisions for the public good as democratic citizens in a culturally diverse world. At Bedford Academy, children begin developing this knowledge in Preschool and then, more formally in social studies class in Kindergarten and across the Lower School.

“My daughter absolutely loves this school. It’s the first one that she’s attended that it’s hard to get her to leave at the end of the day. The teachers care and their commitment to the children is outstanding. I highly recommend this school. My daughter has made great friends and I’ve seen first hand the amazing development of not just her, but of other students who used to be shy. They all say hi to me now, every time.
There are some disgusting people leaving fraudulent reviews here because they obviously have nothing better to do than to try and ruin something good for kids. Please ignore them”.
“My daughter did a shadow day and it was excellent! She is excited to go back again! Bedford academy is designed for little minds and the curriculum is awesome!”
“Our kids have been going to Bedford Academy since the very beginning and we have definitely seen and noticed the development in both. The staff is great from the top down. The Molina family truly has built an education center emphasizing on a structured curriculum for all childrens development and growth.
We are continually excited to see what our kids are learning each passing week and look forward to their progress through the years.
We highly recommend Bedford Academy as a fantastic educational learning school for your children.”.
