God tells us in the book of Proverbs that if we train our children in the way they should go, then they will not depart from it. God teaches us that if we teach our children the Gospel from an early age, that it is likely they will come to know the Lord. We trust in God’s sovereignty over the salvation of our children, and we strive to be instruments that God uses for that purpose. With this understanding, we try to teach all of our children that the “Way” they need is Jesus. It is not a path of self-discipline, but a person whom they must know.
At Christian Preparatory School, our Elementary School program is based on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We teach basic core subject classes through a biblical worldview and frame them in the gospel. At this age, we hope to instill a passion for learning, self-discipline, and obedience to parents and authority. But most importantly, we partner with you by sharing the gospel and showing how it relates to all areas of our lives and education.
Elementary classes (Kindergarten – 5th grade) are 8:15 a.m. – 3:15 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with additional at-home school work throughout the rest of the week. As your partner, we will do the majority of curriculum selection, lesson planning, and teaching, while allowing you to be the primary leader and mentor in your child’s lives. We find this model to be an effective way of teaching core subject lessons and delegating leadership and parental responsibilities to you.
The student-to-teacher ratio in elementary classrooms will not exceed 8:1.
