Curriculum
Throughout the grades Antilles has a vertically aligned curriculum in all subject areas: Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Technology, Social Studies, Spanish, Art, Music and Physical Education. In the early years, subjects are interwoven with theme-based, hands-on learning activities. The students become independent learners and critical thinkers as they grow developmentally. When they cross the parking lot to Middle School and Upper School, students start to have more choices in their learning path with many Honors and Advanced Placement courses available to choose from.
