Elementary Schools
Knox County’s elementary schools provide a
firm educational foundation for student learning. Formal instruction
begins in the kindergarten year with orientation to the school environment
and a strong emphasis upon phonemic awareness and early literacy.
Grades one through five provide instruction in the core subjects of
reading and writing, mathematics, science, social studies, and health
and safety. Specialists in music, art, and physical education provide
additional instruction. Classes are self-contained and heterogeneous,
with student grouping to accommodate varying levels of instruction.
Integration of curriculum is encouraged, and the daily program is
organized into flexible blocks of time. Support personnel in each
school assist the classroom teacher in meeting the special needs of
elementary students.
