subjects (i.e. art, social studies, science) as well as further review of the
core subjects of language arts and math.

5-Year-Old Kindergarten
The K5 program consists of 5 full days of instruction with a
5 day morning option. We can also accommodate different afternoon schedules as
long as there is a minimum of 5 mornings (i.e. 5 mornings with 2-5
afternoons). Full day and morning students will be together in the classroom
during the morning, receiving the same instruction in the core subject areas
that are mentioned below.
Full Day Program: The 5 full day program provides for the full range of K5
instruction that includes the core subjects of Bible, language arts, and math,
as well as the additional subjects of science, social studies, art, music, and
physical education. The language arts area covers phonics, handwriting, and
reading. The afternoons are dedicated to the additional instructional subjects.
The full day students will receive a rest time in the first portion of the
year, which will gradually be eliminated.
Morning Program: The 5 day morning program provides the critical
instruction of the core subjects of Bible, language arts, and math, as well as
some instruction in other areas. For example, the morning students will
receive some physical education and music instruction, but not as much as a
full day student.
