Elementary
In Elementary Grades (1st-5th), our students hear and apply God's Word to their lives. They develop an understanding of God's nature and character, and recognize God's plan of redemption throughout history. Students learn to communicate creatively and precisely, gain reading skills, examine the precision and order of God's universe through math and science, grow and curious care-takers and explorers of God's created world, and cultivate life-long healthy habits that honor God. Students will be able to connect learning to real-life applications and enjoy opportunities to interact with peers.
