Grade Level Standards: Kindergarten – 5th Grade
Early elementary students (K-2) thrive by experiencing the world around them. These experiences provide the foundation upon which skills are built. God made each child special, with his/her own time schedule for development. It is our goal to make the classroom a safe, enriching, interesting, and joy-filled place of spiritual, cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth. As students progress in elementary school (3-5), they expand their depth of learning and begin to make the switch to more independent studies.
