Welcome to Kindergarten!

Kindergarten is a time for discovery that incorporates play.

This discovery process will incorporate play, academics, socialization, and the development of a Christian heart. Collaboration with parents is a very important part of our program, and we look forward to parents’ participation in the classroom throughout the year. *

Bible

Students are exposed to a multitude of Biblical stories through interactive boards, including: Creation, Jesus and His miracles, parables, birth, death and resurrection, and historical figures of both the Old and New Testaments. Students are led in daily prayers and are expected to memorize and recite key Bible verses.
Math

Using Progress in Mathematics, students utilize numbers in a variety of ways. In addition to calendar math, students learn number sense through counting, skip counting, and basic addition and subtraction. Students also identify shapes, label and calculate the value of coins, tell time, and recognize patterns.
Phonics, Reading, and Language Arts

Building an early foundation of phonemic and phonological awareness is imperative for future reading success. Using the Super Kids Structured Literacy program, students begin instruction by learning letter recognition, which builds to sound-symbol connections, decoding consonant and vowel sounds, word building using short vowel families, and ultimately word recognition. Using letter formation skills, students experiment with interactive writing through journal writing and dictation and learn basic sentence structure.

Through a variety of literature styles, students recognize fundamental reading comprehension skills and are exposed to both fiction and non-fiction works.
Science

In a study of God’s world, students incorporate a variety of hands-on learning techniques in the following areas: the seasons, insects, health & body, space, animal classification and adaptations, and dinosaurs. A field trip to a farm and an in-house presentations about the five senses and insects round out the student experience. Additionally, students discuss proper nutrition and health as they explore their senses.
Social Studies

With a focus on family and Christian holiday celebrations, students learn about the family unit and Thanksgiving, Christmas, President's Day, and Easter traditions. Additionally, students are able to define and describe community helpers, read a basic map, and follow cardinal directions.

US 101 - Rescheduled Sep 5th
8/27/2025

We have an important update regarding our upcoming US 101 – Upper School & Beyond event. Originally planned for this Friday, the day before the long weekend, we’ve received feedback that many of you may be traveling and unable to attend.

In an effort to respect your time and give all of our families the opportunity to participate, we are rescheduling US 101 to take place as part of our Upper School Open House on Friday, September 5. Rather than holding two separate events on different dates, we have decided that integrating Upper School 101 with our Open House will allow us to be mindful of your time while still providing the most comprehensive picture of the Upper School journey. This will allow you to hear directly from our high school students and recent graduates, ask questions, and gain valuable insight into the Upper School experience and beyond.

We will be sending additional details soon regarding the Open House schedule and how US 101 will be included in the itinerary. For now, we encourage you to mark 8:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. on Friday, September 5 on your calendar. If you already plan to attend, you can RSVP at this link, and additional details will follow in another email. We look forward to seeing you there!
