Academics
Pre-K
Our PreK Department consists of classes with students ranging from the ages of 3 years old to kindergarten. The children are taught using the popular and highly acclaimed ABeka curriculum. ABeka is an accelerated and advanced Christian curriculum that prepares the students with a strong, academic foundation, making them ready for the important, upcoming years in their education. The school setting is that of a traditional one, with an emphasis on instruction and review. It is curriculum oriented and teacher directed within a structured environment. We hold fast to the belief in accountability for each individual as well as the importance of character training. The students attend during regular school hours (8:15-3:15), five days a week. Chapel services are held once a week for this age group. We offer special chapel programs, including Grandparents’ Day, Veteran’s Day, Christmas programs, Easter programs and a Mother’s Day tea for our three year olds and their mothers. They also have music and physical education classes bi-weekly. Kindergarteners have computer classes bi-weekly, as well. Our PreK teachers are extremely qualified, loving and educated individuals who enjoy teaching and working with the young, PreK students! Our kindergartners have a very special Circus Day and end of the year graduation that will bless you and your families for years to come.
