An elementary school is an educational institution typically catering to young children between the ages of 5 and 11 (grades K-5 or K-6 in the United States). It serves as the foundational stage of formal education, focusing on basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies. Elementary schools aim to provide a nurturing environment that fosters intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development. They often employ a variety of teaching methods and activities to engage young learners and lay the groundwork for their future educational endeavors.
