Academics
Jr-K is a full day program with the purpose of offering our families a nurturing, caring and safe educational environment that is distinctively Christian. The program consists of important foundational, biblical truths and introductory academic activities that fully prepare the child to be successful in Kindergarten. The program also teaches fun and experiential learning activities that challenge them to be lifetime learners.
To be eligible for enrollment, children must be 3 years 8 months by the first day of school (or 4 years old by Dec. 31.) and must be fully potty trained when they begin school.
