Spiritual Life: Elementary
“…. Of such is the kingdom of God.”

What a blessing to be able to impart spiritual life into the lives of our little ones. In partnership with the family and church, we work to bring this about in many ways:
We start each day with prayer and pledges to the American flag, the Christian flag, and the Bible. This instills in the children that we serve God’s kingdom.
Bible is a vital subject that is taught in engaging and age-appropriate ways each day. Our elementary teachers are in the process of writing our own curriculum that promotes the thinking and pattern processes of Foundation and Framework, our reading curriculum. For instance, God wants us to be truthful is a pattern that the students study in various Bible stories that they then apply to their own lives.
Chapel is set aside each week for singing, listening, and participating in worship. We divide the elementary into the primary (K-2) and the intermediate (3-5) to be able to speak to relevant issues in our students’ lives.

Each class is viewed as God’s classroom where we impart God’s truth into the various curricula. We study science as God’s creation, History as God-directed, and Art as expressing the creativity we have as being made in God’s image. The teachers intertwine relevant Scripture into the lessons and are thrilled when the students apply it themselves into all subject areas.

Some of our after school also feature Biblical themes or use Christian principles as their guiding purpose. For instance, our drama club presented skits with the theme of forgiveness which they learned in the after school club. Our song club learned Christian songs.

Christian is not just in our name but in our very purpose!
