Communication
Our goal is to teach students to communicate accurately and effectively. Literacy is our top priority as students learn to spell through phonetic awareness and structural spelling patterns, write creatively and persuasively, listen and speak with intentionality, access resources through research, and become comfortable with the library system while gaining a love of reading. Spanish adds another dimension of literacy and cultural appreciation for our students.
STEM
Science: With inquiry-based strategies and increasing complexity, students gain investigative skills as they study God’s creation – the earth, solar system, animals, and human body.
Technology: Students learn increasingly complex programs and skills through assigned projects that teach them how to use technology.
Engineering: From simple machines to , students learn to design, construct, implement, and systematize while participating in activities such as , , and real-world challenges.
Mathematics:Â Skills and concepts in arithmetic are learned in ability-based math groups leading to an understanding of increasingly higher mathematics, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
