Early Education

Kindergarden – 4th Grade

Featuring small class sizes and diverse learning areas, our early grades are designed to provide a personalized experience for each of our students.  

Our kindergarten through fourth grade classes meet three times per week in a traditional classroom setting that integrates all subjects, taught by one or two teachers at each level. These traditional classes offer a full course of study (Bible, Language Arts, Math, History, Science). Courses range from 30 to 60 minutes in length and are taught by the qualified teacher; students register for the entire program. Parents participate as at-home co-teachers, following the teacher-provided lesson plans.
