ELEMENTARY
OUR TEACHERS
Teaching a Biblical worldview in school begins with dedicated Christian educators. Integrating biblical principles into all curriculum, teachers emphasize daily that God is Truth and that His Word is the primary source of knowledge. Eliminating the confusion about who we are and why we are here paves the way for a life of assurance and devotion to God.
Music Program
Students in our elementary grades attend music class each week as part of our integration of the arts into our curriculum. Lower elementary grade level students focus on instruments, genres, and composers while then entering into learning the scale, how to read music, beats, tempos, and how to take music direction as a group. At third grade, students begin to put these skills into practice while they learn how to play the ukulele and continue to master that instrument through fourth grade before being given the opportunity to learn a wind instrument in fifth grade.
teaching strategies
Our elementary teachers use a blend of direct instruction, group learning, project-based learning, and differentiated instruction to best meet the learning needs of our students. We understand that each child learns differently, and we work to meet the individual needs of our students whenever possible. We integrate technology into our lessons as a support to the primary methods of teaching, and to maximize learning opportunities.
MAP ASSESSMENTS
Our school uses the NWEA MAP assessment three times each school year in all grades spanning our program to track individual student growth in Math, Reading, and Language. This enables the teachers to pinpoint strengths and growth areas and personalize instruction to maximize learning opportunities.
