The curriculum is built to support a smooth transition, utilizing a team-based instructional approach that encourages collaboration among teachers and students. With its focus on community and age-appropriate support, East Samford School aims to prepare students for the academic rigors of their subsequent years at Auburn Junior High School and beyond.
