School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

"Our programs provide a stimulating, exciting, and Christ-centered instructional curriculum for all children. We believe young children need opportunities to learn basic skills, concepts about the world around them and about themselves. The instructional program of the school stresses language, science. mathematics and perceptual motor development; these are some of the basic essentials for effective living. Art, music, physical education and the use of computers are taught to involve children in basic skills which allow them a variety of ways to express their feelings and perceptions. Teachers plan for continual growth in the social, emotional and spiritual development of each child.
