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.
