elementary school

Our elementary program includes Kindergarten through Grade 5. We honor and encourage our students’ interest in learning and asking questions. Instruction not only includes well-tailored academic content, but also includes hands-on learning, field trips, explorations, and projects.

We want our students to understand how important they are to God. Because of this, we intentionally weave God’s Word into our day and encourage a dependence on Him. They see God as creator in science, as sovereign through history, and as designer of all, intending us to live lovingly and respectfully in community. We practice restorative discipline as a way to resolve conflicts and encourage personal responsibility for better choices.

Since learning to read well is foundational to all other learning, there is a strong balance of phonics and comprehension skills, incorporating not only leveled readers but also trade books and classic children’s literature.

Elementary students have weekly art, physical education, chapel, music, and makerspace classes. Grades 2-5 will also develop digital literacy through weekly digital skills or computer science classes.
