Learning to live in the gentleness and truth of Christ is God’s educational goal for every person. Such a goal is the highest calling of a Christian school. Teaching each student to conduct themselves in loving and responsible ways is a lasting gift that we strive to give each student. At the Adventure Preschool and Windwood Christian Academy, discipline and guidance is consistent and based on an understanding of each child’s needs and development. We strive to promote an atmosphere that encourages good behavior, independence, and self discipline.

Kindergarten through 5th grade

 
 Windwood Christian Academy elementary education program conducts classes five days per week, Monday through Friday 8:45 am to 3:00 pm. As in the preschool, we utilize the A Beka Christian curriculum to help provide a Christ-centered academic program designed to meet the developmental needs of students in these early grades. Besides the basics (math, phonics-based reading, spelling, science, and social studies), each grade also includes instruction in music, computers, physical education, Spanish, and religion. Students also attend a weekly chapel time called “Celebration Station,” which includes a Bible story/devotional, songs, and fellowship.
 
 
Even at this age, children learn and explore best when they are able to use as many senses as possible. Windwood Christian Academy provides varied and exciting, multi-sensory learning experiences for our elementary grade students. Children participate in special field trips, musical programs, and festivals. Class sizes in the elementary school program are limited to 15 students.
