First Grade
For our students that have started with us as Preschoolers or Kindergarteners, we offer a First Grade program upon the completion of their year in Kindergarten! First Grade marks an exciting transition as students move from early foundational skills into more structured and independent learning. In our Christ-centered classroom, students are challenged to think more deeply, take greater responsibility for their work, and grow in both confidence and curiosity. With a balance of guided instruction and hands-on experiences, we help students develop strong academic habits while continuing to nurture their faith and character. Our curriculum is designed to encourage critical thinking, responsibility, and a love for learning as students take the next step in their educational journey.
