Grammar School
(K5-5th Grade)

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6

Forming Foundations

In these early grades, students master the foundational concepts in critical areas of learning, such as spelling and science, arithmetic and art, phonics, history, music, and, of course, the Bible. We enhance the vocabulary of our students through early exposure to Latin. Grammar School sets the stage for learning that follows in middle and high school, preparing our students to excel in their thinking, reasoning, and communication.

Prioritizing Partnerships

From the time our students enter Imago Dei Academy, we aim to assist parents in the raising of their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Eph. 6:4), and to assist local churches in making disciples as Jesus commanded (Matt. 28:19-20). We believe this “three-legged stool” of support – home, church, and school – provides a solid foundation for building lives seeking to glorify God in all that they do.

Cultivating Culture

Starting in Grammar School, we are determined to provide a safe and orderly environment for our students. Further, we want our school to be a place where joy and excitement are evident, and where virtues such as love, justice, and courage are routinely cultivated. This is accomplished through the loving guidance of our teachers as they infuse academic lessons with Biblical truth and facilitate character-building moments daily.

Hands-On and Interactive Learning

At Imago Dei Academy, we believe children learn best when they are actively engaged in the educational process. Our small class sizes will provide dynamic and interactive opportunities that inspire curiosity, creativity, and a deeper understanding of the material. Here’s how we bring learning to life:

Guided Discussions and Collaboration

Students engage in brief presentations, guided discussions, and teamwork, building confidence, critical thinking, and communication skills, while learning to engage in collaboration through love and respect for others.

Hands-On Experiments

In science and other subjects, students conduct experiments and activities that allow them to explore concepts firsthand, making abstract ideas tangible and memorable.

Creative Arts

Art projects encourage self-expression and foster an appreciation for beauty and creativity, helping students connect academic concepts to visual and tactile experiences.

Storytelling and Drama

Storytelling and dramatic reenactments make history and literature come alive, enhancing comprehension and making learning more engaging and enjoyable.

Music and Rhythmic Activities

Music lessons and rhythmic activities help reinforce memorization, pattern recognition, and appreciation for classical works, integrating beauty and structure into learning.
