Kindergarten 4

Students enrolled in K4 have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities designed to help them make the adjustment to the school environment and working in a group. It is important that children learn to function well in the classroom environment. This includes getting along with other children and cooperating with adults other than their own parents. These students learn to take turns and wait without interrupting, along with thinking, reasoning, and decision making skills.

They also work diligently to develop their listening skills, social/emotional skills, literacy, language, mathematical reasoning, and knowledge acquisition through a thematic approach. Research shows that children must first have a strong base in language: rhyming, patterning, playing with words, listening to stories, etc. From the first day till the last, K4 students are saturated with these concepts in a fun yet challenging way.

We're More than Academics

Strong hearts and minds impact the world in amazing ways. Virtues such as respect, perseverance, compassion, and courage are essential to what kids need to succeed and an essential part of what we teach. We make them part of every school day. This helps students learn the importance of making good decisions and doing the right thing in life. Moral Focus is so integrated into everything we do:

• We created a curriculum specifically around Moral Focus.
• We celebrate a “virtue of the month” every month.
• Our students create a class contract where students agree how to treat their teacher and each other.
• Students are recognized and celebrated for how they live out Moral Focus every day.
