Academics

Our academic program consists of the best combination of Christian and non-religious materials available. We use Open Court Reading™, a comprehensive approach to reading and language arts instruction. It is rated as one of the best programs on the market. A spiraling curriculum, it provides instruction in phonics, fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, grammar, and writing and is taught at every grade level, Pre-K through 6th. Our math program prepares students for the pre-algebra class we teach in the 6th grade. Our science, health, and history courses are taught from a Bible-based perspective using the A Beka™ textbook series. In addition to the regular classroom instruction, our elementary students attend two resource classes each day on a rotation: art, music, computers, PE, and Spanish.

Bible & Character

Our elementary students participate in daily devotions in the classroom, attend weekly chapel services with our children's pastor, and see the Word of God applied in all areas of study. Each month, there is a specific character trait that is studied using memory verses, classroom activities, role-playing, school-wide assemblies, and a lot of opportunities for practice. Each time a student is "caught" demonstrating the trait by a faculty member, it is recorded on a card and placed in a collection box. At the end of the month, twelve cards are drawn at random and those students are the winners of our "Lunch & Limo" reward. This program sends students on an all-expense paid trip to Harry's restaurant for lunch in a stretch limousine (with a teacher chaperone, of course!) The remaining nomination cards are also read aloud so that we may celebrate the excellence in character of all of our students.
