PRESCHOOL
For Younger Siblings 3+
Our preschool is for the younger siblings of those who are enrolled in our K-8th program. Designed for kids over 3 years of age, our preschool is an atmosphere of play based learning. Children MUST BE potty-trained.
Our guided learning time is short and sweet. We'll go over the alphabet, weather, Bible verse, sing some songs, and read a story.
Preschoolers have stations to explore and free play, including outdoor playground time.
We'll also do snack time together.
Elementary
Kindergarten-6th Grade
Currently, our enrichment courses and co-op opportunities are suited for students in K-6th grade. Our K-2nd graders will take classes together and do snack and recess together. Similarly, our 3rd-6th graders will do their classes and breaks together. Chapels, field trips, and class parties are done all together, accommodating all grade levels, K-8th.
Children are qualified to begin enrichment courses when they turn 5 before September 1st of the current school year.
Middle School
6th-8th Grade Enrichment Program
Our middle schoolers this year will start with "SLOYD", which is a Swedish form of paper-folding that helps students develop their fine-motor skills, precision and accuracy. Then, we will delight in William Shakespeare's work as we learn from 2 of his timeless dramas. Students will mainly focus on the simple enjoyment of Shakespeare's work and will be given space to prepare and perform a short play. We will rest our minds by shifting to handicrafts that will add pleasure to students' leisure time, and we will rotate between various crafts (soap carving and basket weaving) over the course of the year. New this year, we will be using "The Art of Construction" to learn basic engineering principles for building structures. We will end our days using "Mapping the World with Art" to engage the students while learning about various regions of the world. This program is geared for students in 6th-8th grade and is for enrichment purposes.
