    SPEECH MEET

    Because helping students to think and speak critically and constructively from a Bible-based Christian worldview is a major endeavor, we have elected to participate in the ACSI Speech Competition for elementary students.

    Speech Meet helps students:

    • Understand the significance of speech as we relate with God and others
    • The importance of testifying to the character and nature of God
    • The content and manner of our speech matters

    SPANISH

    Spanish class is held on a weekly basis with each class from Preschool 3 through 5th grade. The younger children work on counting, colors, animals, people, action words and basic conversational skills. Second through 5th graders look at these things as well, but also learn verb meanings and conjugations.

    PHYSICAL EDUCATION

    “You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.””
    — 1 Corinthians 6:20

    Physical Education is a safe secure place where students can learn the fundamentals of exercise, sports, and healthy living.

    Students learn:

    • The correct way to play sports, from soccer to hockey
    • Jump rope tricks
    • Games that focus on team work, encouragement, and patience.

    MUSIC
