Students in PreK4 through 2nd grade are actively engaged in the learning process through differentiated instruction designed to meet individual learning needs. Our classrooms are relational, multi-sensory, and developmentally appropriate—honoring how young children learn best.
Instruction includes:
Early Elementary features a strong reading and phonics program that builds fluent, confident readers. In kindergarten through first grade, students learn to read; beginning in second grade, students read to learn—developing comprehension and critical thinking skills.
Math instruction follows the BJU Press curriculum, providing a structured, concept-driven approach that emphasizes understanding, practice, and mastery. Cursive writing is introduced in first grade and continues throughout a student’s education at ACS. Technology is thoughtfully integrated as a tool to support instruction and engagement.
Spiritual growth is woven into every aspect of the Early Elementary experience. Teachers intentionally integrate biblical truth into daily instruction, guiding students toward a growing relationship with Christ. Each child is encouraged to reach their God-given potential and understand who God has created them to be. Students also attend monthly chapel to further nurture their spiritual development.
