Development by Grade Level

List of 3 items.

  • Pre-Primary (Pre-K/Kindergarten)

    The Foundation of Joy. Your child begins their education with purposeful, play-based exploration. We build early literacy, numeracy, and Spanish skills in an environment that encourages your child to wonder, discover, and lead from day one.

  • Lower School (Grades 1–4)

    Building Academic Stamina. In these foundational years, your child gains the "tools of learning." Through inquiry-based projects, your child develops the academic challenge and self-assurance needed to tackle complex problems across every subject.

  • Middle School (Grades 5–8)

    The Leadership Years. At Gulf Stream, the transition to Middle School begins in 5th Grade. In this intentional model, your child takes center stage earlier. We focus on executive functioning and public speaking, ensuring your child graduates as a poised communicator ready for the challenging and selective high schools.
