K-4 (14:1 student/teacher ration):

Our K-4 students use the Christian based ABEKA curriculum. Students develop language skills, increase their listening skills, strengthen their motor skills and develop an appreciation for God�s creation. Our program teaches recognition, auditory and visual perception of all letters in the alphabet, and recognition, writing and concepts of numbers 1 - 20, and teaches counting to 50. Color and shape recognition and learning to write their first name are also taught. Our K-4 students learn their complete address, phone number, birthday, days of the week, and months of the year. Students attend music, art, P.E. and library each week.
