PRIMARY: K-2

Our kindergarten classes emphasize a developmental learning program that includes heavy emphasis on:
. reading and math readiness
. oral and written language development
. hands-on learning opportunities
. creative expression through art & music

Classes include full day programs with opportunities for brief rest, snack, and recreation/socialization time. The language arts program is based heavily on phonics and immersion in children's literature. Concepts include:
. letter identification and formation
. letter-sound association
. vowel/consonant identification
. blending sounds and beginning reading

Students also develop writing and reading skills through daily journal writing. Students write at least two paragraphs per week by the end of the second grade.

The manipulative-based math program introduces and develops a variety of concepts including patterns, numbers, sorting and classifying, graphing, measurement, and addition/subtraction readiness. Kindergarten students also learn about fractions, time, and money.

Social science and thematic units are included in the daily curriculum along with religion. Students learn that each person is special, families and friends share love, and God is loving and forgiving.
