Elementary Curriculum

SCA’s elementary program of academics is focused on making learning meaningful for the students and preparing them for a life of learning. At each level of instruction, care is taken to teach material in developmentally appropriate ways, recognizing the student’s cognitive, personal, and spiritual stage of development as well as the individual’s learning style. 

The course of study moves from concrete thinking to the skills of abstract reasoning. Throughout this level there is a focus on the skills of reading, writing, and math that form the framework for all future learning.  The training revolves around strategies for gaining and organizing knowledge.

At the elementary level students take part in an educational program that will prepare them for the academic challenges ahead. Subject areas include Bible, phonics/reading, science, language arts, arithmetic, social studies, character development and computer.

Library, health, physical education, field trips, music, art, scheduled computer lab time and piano lessons are offered throughout the week to extend and enrich the classroom experience.
