Where leadership begins

Academy Class Time

The school day is thoughtfully structured to align with the student’s developmental stage and attention span:

  • Short, Focused Sessions: Each subject is designed for brief, concentrated learning periods followed by hands-on activities to reinforce the material.
  • Afternoon Break: Students enjoy a second snack and recess in the afternoon to refresh and recharge.
  • Rest Time for Younger Students: K4-K5 students are given a dedicated rest time in the afternoon to ensure they stay energized and ready to learn.

K4-4th Grade - Additional Activities

Attending Assembly

Our assembly time offers a valuable opportunity to reinforce weekly memory work, while also fostering leadership skills. Students take turns leading the Pledge of Allegiance and guiding our corporate prayer, empowering students to grow in confidence and responsibility as they take an active role in their educational community.

Shopping at the Memory Market

Each week, students have the chance to showcase their knowledge by reciting the memory work they’ve mastered, earning points for their efforts. After six weeks of dedication, they get to experience the excitement of the Memory Market, where they can trade their hard-earned points for fun prizes, turning learning into a rewarding adventure!

Becoming a Memory Master

At the start of the year, some students set an inspiring goal to memorize all of the memory work they are challenged with. These dedicated “Memory Masters” are celebrated for their incredible achievement at our Year-End Assembly, where their hard work and perseverance are recognized and honored.

Serving on Student Council

Our academy offers 5th-8th grade students the opportunity to run for Student Council, where elected representatives can practice servant leadership through a variety of on-campus activities, including organizing pizza sales, theme days, and both on-campus and off-campus events.

Participating in Competitions

Our academy offers numerous opportunities for students to shine in the arts and build character through friendly competition. These include our annual art competition and talent show (3rd-8th Grade) and our creative writing contest and the highly anticipated Unique Design Fair (5th-8th Grade).

Participating in the UD Fair

We believe every student is uniquely designed by God, with their own talents and interests. The Unique Design (UD) Project gives 5th-8th grade students the exciting opportunity to dive deep into a topic they are passionate about. Students focus their research, create a dynamic presentation board, and bring their projects to life. The journey culminates in the Unique Design Fair, a fun and competitive event where students proudly present their projects to the community through engaging interviews—showcasing their hard work, intellectual growth, and newfound confidence as future leaders and speakers.
