JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN - GRADE 5

2008-2009

 

LOWER SCHOOL PROGRAM OVERVIEW

CCA lower school endeavors to educate students in order to prepare them well for the next level. Central to our purpose is a godly and caring faculty, skilled in implementing a comprehensive curriculum and instructional program. Our desire is that our students will grow in mind and heart as they pursue Christ-likeness and develop a steadfast love for Him that evidences itself in a life of service to others.

 

All subjects are taught from a Christian perspective as students are led to the understanding that in Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3). As they study, students are given a Biblical framework so that they can grasp the cohesive nature of Truth across the breadth of the curriculum. Our campus-wide core values of RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, and INTEGRITY are taught in all subjects by all teachers.

 

Classes are heterogeneously grouped emphasizing differentiation of instruction through whole class settings, small and large group activities, and learning centers.
