About
PROGRAM
Each age group will do age-appropriate activities consisting of large groups, small groups, and learning centers. Each class will have experiences in art, music, science, Bible, and academics. Recess is an important part of each day. The Child Development Center has an indoor play area when the weather prohibits going outside. All students visit the science/art/music room weekly (kindergarten attends daily). Each age group also meets weekly for an interactive chapel.
CURRICULUM
Our language, reading, and math curriculums are from ABEKA and D.I.G. We use The Gospel Project Bible curriculum each day in the classroom and in our weekly chapels. Our curriculum is supplemented as needed.
