Elementary

Elementary Curriculum

Our primary curriculum for all grades is Abeka.  It lays a strong foundation for our students that they can build upon for years.  It is a traditional philosophy of education that allows for a spiral approach to learning. Students are learning to read through phonics, begin writing cursive from the start, and arithmetic is taught on the building blocks of math facts and concepts. We use DeepRoots Bible Curriculum for Defendable Faith.

School Wide Events

For us, school isn’t just about taking tests and working hard. We feel that students need to have traditions and events to reward all that hard work. Each year we work hard to bring together events that bring families out to bond and celebrate the hard work of their students.

Throughout each school year we host the following events:

  • Fall Festival
  • Christmas Program
  • Rodeo Jamboree
  • Academy Showcase
  • Laps for Learning
  • Field Day
  • All-Praise Chapel
  • Grandparents Day
  • Science Fair/Art Festival
  • Spirit Weeks

Field Trips

Each teacher takes the time to enhance their students’ learning through taking field trips, bringing in special guest speakers, and special events in their classroom.

Some of the popular ones are:

  • Zoo and Pumpkin Patch
  • Postal History Museum
  • Sabino Canyon
  • Ostrich Ranch
  • Book Fairs
  • Pima Air and Space Museum
  • Titan Missle Museum
  • Catalina State Park
  • City Farm
  • Tubac

Student Recognition and Competitions

Students are recognized for Perfect Attendance, Principal’s List, Honor Roll and ‘Super Students’ for our K & 1st grades.  We enjoy allowing our students to challenge themselves through competition. Each year we participate in a Spelling Bee, Speech Meet, Math Olympics Science Fair and an Art Festival. This builds such confidence in our students and pushes them to work beyond just their assigned projects.
