Kindergarten

Kindergarten at Blue Ridge Christian School is a joy-filled place of excitement and growth. Our goal is that our Kindergarten students receive:

• A solid foundation to reach their God-given potential.
• Hands-on activities that will instill a passion for life-long learning.
• Instruction in Bible, Spanish, Music, Art and P.E. to explore new interests and become well-rounded individuals.

Considering the Whole Child

We believe that the purpose of a Kindergarten program is to nurture the whole child.

• Our program addresses students’ spiritual, academic, social, and physical growth.
• We combine developmentally appropriate academic experiences to reach this goal.

The Kindergarten program strives to develop a child’s growing awareness of God as Creator, Sustainer, and Savior.

• Students are guided through prayer and respect for and regular use of the Bible. Ongoing reference to God’s work in the world and in their daily lives is integrated across all curriculum areas and includes scripture memorization. Students also participate in weekly chapels and Prayer Buddy meetings.

Diverse Starting Points

The Kindergarten curriculum accommodates students at a variety of stages in the literacy acquisition process.

• All students enjoy the literature-rich environment where they are encouraged to read and write during regular activity times. 
• Differentiation and individual assessment is key to meeting the individual student needs.
• Students who are still learning to read benefit from small group and individualized instruction. Advanced readers are challenged by developmentally appropriate texts and activities.
