ACADEMICS
KINDERGARTEN
Christ-centered • Hands-on • Engaging
Students spend their day moving around, creating, exploring and interacting while learning. Our small class size (capped at 16) provides many opportunities for differentiation and one-on-one time with the teacher, allowing students to have their individual academic needs addressed. In addition to developing academics, kindergarten focus on developing servant-leaders to equip them for life.
ELEMENTARY (1st-5th Grade)
Biblical • Nurturing • Informative
Our elementary classrooms offer a fun and engaging learning environment. Language arts and math education combined whole-group instruction and small-group focused learning. We offer learning support and enrichment opportunities to meet the needs of all learners. Character development is an integral part of everything we do. We desire to shape both the outward behavior and the heart of each child.
