Elementary School

Our elementary teachers recognize the importance of the foundations of learning that occur in the elementary years.  Teaming with parents, we strive to nurture their minds and their hearts through excellent academics taught from a Biblical worldview.  Employing the whole child approach, students engage in a variety of learning styles in the classroom.  They also take part in art, music, physical education, and computer under the direction of expert teachers.

  • Kindergarten

    As research supports, young children thrive with opportunities to explore, socialize, and learn through play. Our kindergarten program strives to combine those experiences with academic excellence to provide a strong foundation for each student to build upon.

    Students come three days per week which includes an enrichment day every other week, with many science and social studies themed hands-on activities.  Creativity is abundant in kindergarten as students are offered a variety of materials for building, gluing, cutting, and constructing.  Kindergartners will learn basic reading and math skills in a learning environment with Christ as the focus. Learning continues as they head off to library, music, and physical education twice a week. 

    Kindergarten is a very unique part of elementary school.  Students enter at a variety of levels and therefore must be educated at different levels.  A lot of the academic work that is foundational to a student's learning occurs in kindergarten.  Our kindergarten teacher works hard to meet the needs of a variety of learners.  If you wish to see more detail concerning the curriculum click below.
