Our goal is to raise the next generation of Christian leaders through Godly character, academic excellence, and extracurricular activities.
Our Kindergarten through 4th-grade classes integrate a biblical curriculum with activities that motivate children. We utilize various curricula to maximize each student's spiritual, intellectual, physical, and social development.
Bible
Students begin each day with Bible class, where they grow in knowledge and application of God’s Word and develop a relationship with Jesus. The Bible curriculum builds from year to year, developing students’ biblical worldview by teaching fundamental truths found in scripture.
Mathematics
Mathematics focuses on understanding mathematical concepts using manipulatives and hands-on activities. The new research-based My Math curriculum (McGraw-Hill Publishers) facilitates math instruction in elementary school. This dynamic program, aligned to both state and national standards, allows students to get excited about math through problem-based interactive learning followed by visual learning strategies.
Language Arts
We use a Workshop Model for kindergarten through 4th-grade reading and writing instruction. Students receive small group instruction that focuses on reading and writing skills, differentiating the skills needed for each student. Spelling, Phonics, Vocabulary, and Grammar instruction are embedded in the curriculum to provide students with a solid foundation in all Language Arts, helping them become fluent readers and proficient writers.
These primary grades also make time for personal instruction in penmanship. The focus of reading in Kindergarten through second grades is “Learning to Read,” while grades three through four help students build skills to “Read to Learn.” Students in first through fourth grades also enjoy selecting their own “just right” texts through the Accelerated Reader (AR program).
Social Studies
We focus on a narrative approach to history, asking thought-provoking questions and making real-life applications, helping students view the world as God sees it.
Areas of study in grades K-4th-Grade include Communities, AmericanHistory, Symbols and FamousAmericans, Regions, and Geography. Third grade emphasizes OklahomaHistory.
Science
The focus of science in grades K-4th is to help students develop scientific literacy from a biblical worldview. Students learn from engaging in hands-on activities and real-world applications. All science courses include lessons with a STEM focus, combining Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Students alternate between two nine-week science courses and two nine-week Social Studies courses.
Explore Rotation/Specials and Physical Education
Students are instructed in art, music, Spanish, physical education, and computer skills (2nd-6th).
Elementary Art explores a variety of media designed to allow all students to express themselves creatively.
In Music, students identify rhythms, tempo, and musical markings to read music. Movement, singing, praise, and worship are also focused throughout the year.
Elementary Spanish class offers students a basic introduction to the Spanish language.
Students in Technology classes focus on touch-typing skills, basic computer coding, and using Google Apps for Education.
Physical Education is held daily, encouraging a life habit of regular physical exercise.
