Kindergarten

Kindergarten is an exciting stage in your child’s development. Our goal at Shalom Christian Academy is to provide academic excellence from a Biblical perspective so that our students are prepared to be successful in a world in which they live.

In kindergarten, your child will be introduced to letters and their sounds. These are the foundations for reading. Manipulatives will often be used to teach the logic and order of math. Bible stories and verse memorization will also be a regular part of your child’s education. Science and social studies will teach your child about the world around us. Music, art, physical education, and makerspace provide additional enrichment experiences for students.

Friends and Mentors

Through our Learn to Serve program, kindergarten students build connections with older students. The relationships formed between students is mutually beneficial as they interact with each other in meaningful ways. These connections last long after the Learn to Serve class is over. They continue greet each other in the hallway and be a familiar face out of school hours. 

SCHEDULE
Kindergarten classes operate on the same daily hours as other grades at Shalom Christian Academy. Students attend each day.
