First graders build on the reading, writing and mathematical foundation of Kindergarten by expressing their independence in these academic areas.  Understanding that each child is a unique child of God, teachers place a large emphasis on differentiation of instruction in both whole and small groups to further each child’s growth and discovery.   

Third graders students enjoy the dynamic shift from learning to read, to reading to learn.  A strong emphasis on reading and writing enhances their ability to conduct science explorations and historical reporting.   The students learn to walk daily with God in and beyond the classroom as they participate in their service learning project.

Fourth Grade students are independent and confident as they begin departmentalizing for their core subjects and rotate amongst their teachers.  This gives them added responsibility and develops necessary organization and time management skills.  Students are encouraged to have a heart for Christ, achieve academic success, connect to their communities and be leaders.

Fifth graders are beginning the transition to middle school.  It is a year of leadership opportunities as they continue to develop organizational skills, gain independence and become self-motivated learners.  They conduct science research and have opportunities for advancing in math placement.  It is a year of academic and spiritual development in preparation for middle school.
