🌎Mission

Environmental Responsibility
At Fryberger, we strive to foster environmentally responsible students across the curriculum. Our goal is to inspire critical thinking and real-world problem solving through student goal-setting, engineering and design, collaboration, and environmentally respectful practices. We emphasize the importance of respecting ourselves, our community, and the natural world around us.

Since the fall of 2018, we have been leading students and the surrounding community in environmental education and sustainability practices. Our parent and staff-led committee recognized the importance of educating students in environmental sciences, so they can truly make a difference in the world.

Sustainability Practices
Environmental education and sustainability practices are at the forefront of everything we do—from facility and grounds operations to nutrition and health services, and student education. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in all aspects of school life, ensuring that students are aware of and engaged in environmentally friendly practices.

Project-Based Learning (PBL)
We teach our science curriculum through Project-Based Learning (PBL). This approach allows students to develop a deep understanding of topics and retain information longer. By engaging in PBL, our students build competencies for college and career readiness. Most importantly, it empowers them to make a difference in their communities by solving real problems and addressing real issues.

English Language Arts & Support
In addition to our focus on science, we provide a rigorous English Language Arts curriculum. For students who need additional support, our Support teachers offer extra instruction to ensure they are on track and thriving academically.

Math Instruction (CGI)
Our teachers are trained in Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) in math. CGI is a student-centered approach that starts with what the child already knows. Through higher-level questioning, we engage students and encourage them to think critically about math concepts.

AVID Program (WICOR Strategies)
For our 4th and 5th-grade students, we emphasize WICOR strategies through the AVID program. AVID equips students with the skills they need to succeed in college and their future careers, focusing on Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading (WICOR).

By integrating these approaches into our curriculum, we ensure that every student at Fryberger is prepared to face the challenges of the future with confidence, knowledge, and a sense of responsibility.
