Spotlight on Third Grade
Many experts agree that third grade might be the most crucial academic grade of a child’s life. At Southfield School, each grade level has special units. This immersive learning approach uses integrated curriculum and helps reinforce subject matter using a holistic, hands-on approach to learning. Our third-grade students have a variety of ways to engage with subject matter on a deeper level. We value performance opportunities and field experiences at Southfield School, not just because it helps with public speaking, but also because it provides students an opportunity to explore the material in a tactile way. It builds confidence, helps students retain material and helps students develop their work ethic as they put in many hours of practice to be able to share what they’ve learned with their families.
Civilization Fair
As part of a school-wide event our third-grade students study ancient Egypt. Immersion is key. For example, students study the Egyptian numeric system for math, learning the process of preserving mummies in science, and create Egyptian art.
Field Trip - Pioneer
Heritage Center
At Southfield School, our small class size allows us create meaningful learning experiences off-campus. For example, our small group at the LSU Pioneer Heritage Center allows students and parents to immerse in the pioneer way of life.
Ocean Unit
Before embarking on their field trip to the Shreveport Aquarium, students study marine life. The ability for a hands-on experience as a companion to their study offers enrichment to the unit. We look to create material and course integrations that work for different learning styles.

Preschool
Play is the underpinning foundation of all learning in preschool. Teachers set up purposeful learning centers and activities. For young children, play is their work. Each class is taught by a certified early childhood teacher and an assistant, averaging a 6:1 student to teacher ratio in our preschool classes. The regular school day ends at noon with extended day options available. Learn More.
Kindergarten
Each Kindergarten class is taught by a certified teacher and an assistant using purposeful learning centers. Additional certified specialists instruct students in music, art, French, physical education, and computer technology. Specialists in math, reading and science work to enrich the learning experience.

85 Years of Excellence
Have we mentioned we’ve been inspiring young minds since 1934. Our exploratory, hands-on approach develops inquisitiveness and a love of learning. We let our children stretch their legs with a daily recess and PE through middle school because their brains work better when they’ve had a chance to move around a little. Library time doesn’t phase out as our students enter middle school. There are a lot of things that set us apart, but it’s best told on campus, come visit us!We’d Love to Tell You More
