All students begin the day with worship and prayer. The Encounter Bible curriculum is designed to help students discover, inquire and experience Bible stories and spiritual truths. In addition to these positive experiences, we hope that students will encounter God Himself and be drawn to developing a personal relationship with Christ.
Students continue developing their independent reading and writing abilities. In reading, they are instructed during read-alouds, mini lessons, phonics instruction and reading groups. By the fifth grade, students are taught to sustain student-led book clubs. In writing, students learn to write poetry, personal narratives, realistic fiction, argument essays, literary essays and informational reports.
The Big Ideas math curriculum is used to assist students in becoming proficient in math concepts and skills. Students strengthen their number sense and problem-solving abilities. In third grade, students begin to have experiences in our science lab. By fourth and fifth grade, students explore STEM under the guidance of a STEM certified science teacher.
