The Kindergarten program at C.S. Lewis Academy combines foundational academics with instruction in the Bible. Students learn through collaborative play, hands-on activities, and group activities. They learn to interact with peers, share, and navigate friendships in a respectful way pleasing to God. Our small class size allows us to become a close-knit family throughout the school year, where students love to learn, work, and pray together.
Kindergartners learn how much they are loved by our amazing Creator and how special they are. They are taught to read using the Science of Reading, which uses a systematic approach to Phonics. All other subjects are taught in a highly engaging format with a Christ-centered approach.

"At C.S. Lewis Academy, teaching Kindergarten is so much fun! With our small class sizes and supportive parent volunteers, I am able to do some memorable project days throughout the year. We have an Apple Exploration Day where we complete some S.T.E.M. based activities with apples, have a taste testing party, and make applesauce in September. In October we have a Pumpkin Investigation Day where we count all the seeds in a pumpkin, weigh and measure it, read pumpkin stories and learn about the life cycle of a pumpkin. In December, we get to bake cookies together! We cut out gingerbread men, building on our reading of various versions of the Gingerbread Man story. We then go on to make a large batch of chocolate chip cookies as our service project for the month—delivering fresh cookies to all the high schoolers in our school. We do so much more than this throughout the year, learning and making memories together! And to top this, we get to praise and worship God together every day. I get to share with my students how much our awesome God loves and cares for each one of them!"
