Elementary School Teacher and Student

The elementary grades use BJU curriculum along with several supplemental texts. A strong emphasis is placed on phonics in early grades, while novels and interpretive reading in a variety of genres are introduced in grades 3-6. Students are also introduced to learning centers, places where enhanced learning activities are designed for the individual learner to broaden his or her educational experience.

Science classes are full of activity, with textbook exercises integrated with environmental experiment opportunities, thanks to over 250 acres of woods and wetlands. The unique area around ECS provides students with a variety of ecosystems from which learning about the complexity of God’s wonderful creation can be examined.

The school’s computer lab provides opportunities for students in fourth through sixth grades to integrate their knowledge with the latest technology available. Individual computers, carefully protected with security filters and equipped with current software and internet access, give students the ability to acquire skills in typing, word processing and specific academic applications.
