Lower School K-5
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
PROVERBS 16:16
How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.
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.
