Elementary (K-6)

Academic Overview (Grades K-6)

Our experienced and certified teachers employ best instructional practices to engage students in the classroom.  Smaller classroom sizes allow us to provide exceptional attention to each child's needs.  Students explore all subject areas through a biblically integrated, Christ-centered curriculum.  Core subjects include Bible, Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. They also receive instruction in Art, Music, Physical Education, and Computer Skills from specialized teachers.   

We challenge students to develop a love for learning.  Students participate in enriching field trips throughout the school year that enhance classroom learning.  Technology is integrated into the curriculum with exposure to iPads, Chromebooks, and Google Education to develop computer skills.   Students on campus often say, "I love science" because they get hands-on lab activities and experiments during their time in the shared Science Lab.  We provide a safe environment for students to take risks.  We want them to create and innovate as they learn every day.     

School wide Response to Intervention: Our school uses Star Reading and Math to identify students who need intervention.  We use both push-in and pull-out models for our intervention during school hours.  We have an instructional aide on faculty that works with our students who fall below the school wide benchmark of 40 (Percentile Rank).  She provides support to the general education teachers and works in unison with each teacher for students one-on-one or small group instruction.

Student Activities: Student activities throughout the year include Theater Club (Grades 2-6), STEM Night (Grades K-6), our student led recycling program, The Green Team, Soccer and Track and field (Grades 4-6) to name a few. 

Character/Spiritual Development:  We want students to begin to understand what it means to have courage, curiosity, honesty, and humility as they begin a lifelong pursuit of learning.  As students begin to be formed in character and spiritual development, we want them to engage through Community Projects and other service opportunities that VCS designs to help students to apply their learning.
