Elementary
Kindergarten
Kindergarten at CFC will consist of daily learning rhythms. Those rhythms include literacy, mathematics, handwork (fine motor), arts & crafts, language arts, Bible, and social play. Each rhythm is designed to address daily learning in a kinesthetic manner that engages our students through experience. When children learn through experience, it helps to develop independent thinking and problem-solving skills. Having these skills, will build confidence in our students. Confident children have the freedom to be curious learners, and curious learners never stop learning! Students must be 5 years old by September 1st of the current school year. They meet 5 days a week from 8:45 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Grades 1st – 4th
Our Elementary grades are classes focused on ensuring every child is a successful learner at the pace appropriate for them. Using Visible Learning strategies and individualized goal setting, our teachers prioritize knowing each student’s strengths and needs and work together to create a learning path that best suits those needs. Key resources used are The Good and the Beautiful Homeschool materials (https://www.goodandbeautiful.com), Idaho State Content Standards (https://www.sde.idaho.gov/academic/standards/) (to ensure students are on track to enter any other Idaho State school after their time here), Abeka Bible materials, and Biblically accurate Science and Social Studies materials. We place students in grade levels based on their age as of September 1st of the current school year, however, students will be taught curriculum at the grade level that is best suited for them.
