Curriculum

Our goal is to develop a lifelong habit of physical activity by teaching skills related to endurance, flexibility, motor skills, and fundamental skills related to games and sports. Teamwork, appreciation of the gifts of others, and sportsmanship are all key in developing a sense of one body working toward a common goal.

Through the teaching of reading skills, reasoning, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency, students become independent readers. By exposure to different genres and authors, students are introduced to other cultures and acquire an appreciation of literature. Students are taught how to effectively read and evaluate non-fiction materials for information and content. They are also taught to sift all knowledge through the filter of God’s Word.

As Creator, God’s fingerprints are seen in every facet of scientific study. To attempt to teach science apart from the recognition of God’s handiwork would be to miss the truth. Students of science will develop an understanding of their responsibility as stewards of the earth.

An understanding of how God has worked in the lives of all people through the ages is critical to a student’s ability to actively engage society. Kindergarten through 4th grade social studies focuses on the role of community and builds to an understanding of “state” within U.S. regions. Fifth grade focuses on U.S. history, while 6th grade introduces students to the world beyond their own country.
