Kindergarten
The goal in kindergarten is to help children foster a life-long love for learning. We know that kindergarten students are excited to explore the world around them, and we encourage them to ask questions and find answers. The children grow in faith by learning about Jesus and they learn how to use Jesus' example to treat others with love.
Throughout the year, students become emergent readers and writers as they expand their knowledge of reading readiness skills and learn to express their ideas through writing accompanied with related illustrations. The students develop beginning numeracy skills as they practice counting, adding, and subtracting. In science, the students explore the world around them by asking questions and thinking like a scientist. The main focus of social studies instruction is for the children to explore the community in which they live..
