1st – 4th Grade

First-Fourth Grades focus on higher levels of critical thinking skills, creative expression of thoughts and ideas, and love and appreciation for God’s creation and order.

As the students move through the program, new enrichment classes are added to expand experiences and interests.

• Through hands-on experiences, STEM projects, and purposeful field trips, students gain a deeper understanding of all academic disciplines and how they all fit into God’s design and the world around them. 
• Spanish, Music, Art, P.E., Library, and Technology classes are integrated into the program so students can explore their various interests and God-given gifts. 
• Students have the opportunity to participate in academic and music competitions.

Conversational Spanish

In Conversational Spanish, the students learn Spanish in a fun and engaging way through conversation and active involvement. Students learn Spanish the same way they learned their first language: by listening, seeing the object, observing language and actions, and then responding. They build vocabulary through the use of flashcards, phrases, and stories. Students learn how to see, hear, and speak Spanish. Once the vocabulary is acquired, students will create phrases to use in conversational Spanish.

Technology Class

Technology Class gives students an overview of the responsible use of information, safe and effective online searching, presentation software, desktop publishing and keyboarding applications. Project based learning and application is an important aspect of technology class.

Academic Competitions

As an ACSI member school, we offer students multiple opportunities to excel in their area of gifting, at the district, regional, state and national level. Students may participate in Spelling Bees, Math Olympics, Creative Writing or Poetry competitions and Music Festivals.

Resource

The Resource Department provides academic support to students with identified learning needs. Program options may include in-class assistance, individual tutoring, and direct instruction in core subjects.

Music

Kindergarten through 4th grade music is an exploration of movement, rhythm, and different musical genres. Students perform at two concerts annually.  

Private Piano Lessons are also available and are built into the school week.
