In Lower School you will find grace-filled teachers using time-tested teaching methods in an academically challenging, yet developmentally appropriate atmosphere.
Students move frequently between individual desks, where they learn to manage their own things and the other designated learning areas around the room. In this Kindergarten classroom, each day students gather on the carpet you see here for The Morning Math Meeting, which includes activities like: Days of the Week, Months of the Year, Counting Numbers 1–100, Patterns, the Coin Cup, and so much more. This fun, interactive time engages students’ minds and builds important foundations for learning.
Knowing young minds are like sponges, our intentional memory curriculum teaches students how to remember for the long-term, not just memorize for the test. Pieces are specifically chosen with character-building in mind. Students commit to memory scripture passages, poetry and prose, historical speeches, songs, and more. You’ll see flip boards containing the pieces this class is currently working to memorize.
