Grade 1

About the First Grade Program

Parents will need to complete all sections of the Admission Application and submit the application fee. Our Admissions Staff will call to schedule a school tour. We have very small class sizes so your child will have the attention he or she needs to excel.

Curriculum

Bible: Abeka | Bible stories explored through songs, literature, and scripture memory.
Reading: Abeka | Students utilize advanced phonics for reading literature while continuing to build abstract thinking skills with reason.
Math: Abeka | The incremental approach spirals for the refreshment of math concepts through application.
Cursive: Abeka | Students practice writing in the cursive format for word recognition and sentence formation.
History: Abeka | Heritage Studies 1 follows the events in the New World from pre-1000 to 1682. Your students will learn about the Vikings, Columbus, Plymouth Plantation, trading, Native Americans, and early homes and schools.
Science: Abeka | Science 1 starts students on the path of scientific inquiry with an introduction to the senses, heat, sound, animals, and heavenly bodies–presenting God as the Creator of all things.
Spelling: Abeka | Spelling 1 focuses on application through studying generalizations, and using spelling as a tool for communication. Enjoyable guided activities help your student learn word structures and dictionary skills.
