Kindergarten to Fifth Grade: Formative Years

Our elementary program begins in kindergarten, where foundational academics are laid, and each school year builds on the previous year's instruction. All elementary grades incorporate:

• An emphasis on Godly character

• Critical thinking and problem solving
• Hands-on activities to reinforce topics
• Educational field trips
• Morning and afternoon recess

​

Kindergarten introduces basic academics: reading, writing, and mathematics. Bible, science, social studies, creative writing/journaling, and fine arts and gym round out the students’ day.

We implement:

• Phonics-based curriculum

• Activities to strengthen fine and gross motor skills

• Cursive writing instruction

• Basic mathematics such as addition, subtraction, telling time, and counting money

​

From first grade on, our teachers and staff continue to build on these foundations. As students progress through elementary grade levels,​ they are encouraged in a love of learning that emphasizes critical thinking, problem solving, logical reasoning, communication, and discovery, based upon God's Word as the source for all wisdom, understanding, and truth.
