Kindergarten and Kindergarten Graduation: Our elementary program begins in kindergarten, with the goal of seeing our students grow in their walk with the Lord. Learning to read and math is the emphasis of kindergarten, giving our students a great foundation for all other academic pursuits. Students graduate in May, with a full cap and gown ceremony, combined with an awards program. Academic Standards: As a college preparatory school, our standards are high. Students typically test one to two grade levels above their public school counterparts. Bible and Chapel: Students have daily Bible classes and chapel once a week Curriculum: Our elementary curriculum includes Bob Jones, ABeka, Saxon Mathematics, Summit Ministries Bible, and Modern Curriculum Press. All subjects are taught from a biblical worldview. Accelerated Reading: This program is designed for our elementary students to encourage reading and to improve upon their comprehension skills. We believe that reading and comprehension are critical to every student’s success in all other academic applications. The AR program has shown dramatic results by improving students’ reading comprehension by an average of a grade and a half. Math Block: Our elementary mathematics program utilizes a math block. With all grades teaching math at the same time, students are tested and ability-grouped to reach their highest potential. Specials: Besides outstanding academics, students enjoy a myriad of “specials”, including art, music, PE, chapel, and Spanish (K-2nd) or Computer (3rd-6th). |
