Elementary School
Our elementary program includes K3 (age 3) through grade 5.
Grace Academy students in these grades experience the excitement and joy of learning in a loving and nurturing environment. We strive to grow our students by building a strong Biblical and academic foundation. We encourage the dreams, talent, and imagination of each individual child to glorify God.
K3/K4 is a flexible preschool program to help jump-start your child’s social, academic, spiritual and emotional development. Our caring teachers encourage students to grow at their own pace with hands-on activities that will build foundational skills for a love of learning. We offer three- and five-day, full-day programs.
Grades K5–2 are an important time to build a solid spiritual and academic foundation. We focus on:
- Foundational skills of reading, writing, and math
- Implementing hands-on strategies and technology to build on phonemic awareness, reading comprehension, writing stages, number sense and problem-solving
- Incorporation of experiments and STEAM to show life application in science and social studies
- Setting appropriate expectations in classrooms that use teaching methods suited for varied learning styles

- Integration of Biblical principles in all subjects, along with a daily Bible class and weekly chapel
- Encouraging students to apply Biblical principles in their daily lives
