Private
Elementary School - First Grade
Our program provides a
valuable First Grade experience for your child and the following benefits:
Academics - We have a
comprehensive curriculum, A BEKA, that
builds both strong character and academic excellence. As you follow
your child's progress through the year, you will be thrilled to see your
child learn the basics in reading, writing, and numbers. We also
teach patriotism and the true meaning of holidays such as Thanksgiving,
Christmas, and Easter.
Class Size - Our class size is
limited so your child will receive more one-on-one attention.
Extended Care - We offer the
convenience of quality care from 6:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m., so that your
child remains cared for in a safe, nurturing environment when the academic
day is completed.
Computers - Each elementary
classroom is equipped with two computers. In addition, the
Springfield Academy has a twelve station computer lab to help children
develop skills in technology and to enhance their education.
Dedicated Teachers - All
of our elementary teachers are certified teachers. They have
Master's or Bachelor's degrees in Elementary Education or Early Childhood
Education.
