CURRICULUM

Elementary school is a crucial and foundational stage in a child's educational journey, catering to students between the ages of 5 (Kindergarten) and 12 (Grade 6). This vital period marks the beginning of formal education and lays the groundwork for academic, social, and emotional development.

At Mountainview, elementary school is designed to provide a nurturing environment that fosters learning and growth. The curriculum is carefully crafted to introduce fundamental subjects such as mathematics, language arts, science, and social studies, building a solid academic foundation for future learning combined with a Christian foundation, an intentional integration of the biblical worldview within all content areas, and uses materials from both Christian and secular publishers.

The United States’ Common Core State Standards are used to guide learning objectives in English / Language Arts and Mathematics. The Next Generation Science Standards contain the learning objectives for science courses. The framework for social studies’ learning objectives is based on the Aero Social Studies Standards. In addition to the core curriculum of English, Math, Science, Social Studies and the Bible, we offer fine arts, physical education, computer and various elective classes to broaden our students’ knowledge and experience.
