Elementary School
A typical day for our elementary students would begin with prayer, praise and the Word of God. Once the spiritual foundation is laid, each class then embarks on laying the academic foundation so important at Life. Students begin with reading and work through the subjects listed below.
As well as highly qualified classroom teachers, each with certification, we have a reading teacher who assesses all elementary students. Our staff includes a physical education teacher who leads each class in age appropriate activities and allows for participation in the Presidential Physical Fitness program. In addition, our music teachers direct two full-scale musicals per year while teaching music history and appreciation.
Staff
The classroom teachers provide a warm, friendly and creative atmosphere enhanced by crafts, art and hands-on activities throughout the day. Morning and afternoon recess contributes to the growth of the physical body as well as giving opportunities for students to put into practice character traits which are emphasized throughout the daily routine and in our chapels.
Beyond the Classroom
Elementary students are encouraged to test the skills they practice each day by competing in ACSI activities such as Math Olympics and Spelling Bee. Opportunities are also provided for learning on computers and for foreign language.
The Life Christian School elementary community is one of growing minds, growing bodies, and spirits. We observe this growth in daily interactions between peers, in the classroom through academics, in leadership and responsibility, and in their responsiveness to God. Our once per week chapel programs are designed to train the students in how to take the responsibility, leadership, character and growth they have experienced and translate it into ways to serve their world
