This program enables students to get a firm foundation and prepares them to enter our accelerated elementary school. A weekly gymnastics program is also offered for an additional fee to all preschool students. Kindergarten students participate in graduation exercises in May. All students, preschool through seniors, participate in a fall and/or spring program and chapel presentation for relatives and friends to enjoy.

ELEMENTARY

The elementary curriculum is a well-rounded program that aims to build solid basic skills in reading, math, history, Bible, and science. Other classes, such as music, art, physical education, and computer applications are offered to provide a well-rounded education that helps students discover talents and interests. Athletic and dramatic opportunities are also provided at the elementary level.

GRADING PROCEDURES

Any time parents wish more information about their child's progress, they are invited to schedule a conference with the teacher through the school office. The best learning situation occurs when the home and school work together.

In order to make grading more consistent, teachers are expected to use the following grading scale. However, all teachers are permitted to use some subjectivity in determining these grades.

A 92% - 100% SUPERIOR

B 82% - 91% ABOVE AVERAGE

C 71% - 81% AVERAGE

D 63% - 70% BELOW AVERAGE

F Below 63% FAILING

*I INCOMPLETE

* An "I" indicates that the student has not done or made up all required work. Work is to be completed within two weeks after report cards are issued, at which time grades will be brought up to date. If any work is not completed by this time, the "I" will become an "F" for the course grade. Students who pass the first nine-week grading period and choose to take an "F" for the second nine-week period, rather than do the required work, will not be allowed to pass the class for the semester.
