While lessons are planned with the entire class in mind, the staff is aware that each child is a unique creation of God and strives to meet his/her special needs, interests, and abilities. Lessons include whole group instruction with opportunities for re-teaching and enrichment. Across grades K-8, students are separated into smaller instructional groups for Mathematics and English & Language Arts for three class periods a day.
In the delivery of the instructional programs to students, the school utilizes a more self-contained classroom organization for grades Pre-K through 5. Students remain with their homeroom teachers for instruction in most subject areas. In grades 6-8, a more departmentalized approach is employed. Students move from classroom to classroom for the subjects to be taught.
