Program of Studies

Upper Elementary

 

Grade 2 - Grade 5

Upper Elementary students expand their knowledge in the basic areas of reading, writing, and math, while broadening their horizons in science, social studies, computer skills, and Spanish. Instruction in Bible, art, music, and P.E., plus a weekly chapel program, rounds out the student's educational experience. There are many opportunities for extracurricular activities, including participation in the school's award-winning Saintly Singers choir. A-Team, the elementary leadership group, gives interested students many occasions to gain confidence in public speaking and leading their peers.

Lower Elementary

 

Kindergarten - Grade 1

To lay the essential foundation each child needs, the fundamentals of reading, writing, mathematics, and computer proficiency are taught, along with instruction in Spanish, physical education, art, music, computer, and library/study skills. Bible instruction and Christian values are incorporated into daily teaching, and students worship in their own chapel service every week.

Early Childhood

 

2 - 4 year olds

In a nurturing and playful environment, caring and committed teachers launch a child's Christian educational experience by stimulating thinking skills, while addressing individual learning needs. The curriculum includes reading and writing, math, science, social studies, Spanish, and Bible. Students are given ample opportunities for listening, speaking, writing, drawing and painting, and imaginative play. Class sizes are small, with an assistant teacher in each room.
