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
  • Memorization of poetry and Bible passages
  • 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

Grades 3–5 are a time of great growth in knowledge, learning skills and independence in studies and Biblical foundation. During these years, we focus on:

  • Introducing students to research skills 
  • Progressing students from learning to read to reading to learn
  • Developing a healthy independence, especially as they become increasingly accountable for their study and organizational habits
  • Implementing a variety of strategies to enhance student learning
  • 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
  • Memorization of poetry, Bible passages, character traits and verses
  • Specific content areas such as social studies and science
  • Introducing students to research skills
  • Integration of Biblical principles in all subjects, along with a daily Bible class and weekly chapel
