At First Wesleyan, every child is first and foremost loved and nurtured as a lifelong learner. Our elementary program provides a caring, Christ-centered environment where students are encouraged to create, collaborate, and develop the unique gifts God has given them.
In Kindergarten, students experience a gentle yet purposeful introduction to academic life. Through small class sizes and individualized attention, children grow from recognizing letters and sounds to reading complete sentences with confidence. Foundational math skills—counting, sorting, patterns, and number sense—prepare students for addition and subtraction in first grade and beyond. Using the Abeka curriculum, our Kindergarten program intentionally integrates biblical truth across all subject areas, including phonics, reading, handwriting, math, social studies, and daily life skills.
As students move through grades 1–4, they continue to thrive in small classroom settings where they are both supported and academically challenged. Our elementary curriculum blends Abeka, Bob Jones, Saxon, Summit, and Sadlier Oxford to provide strong foundational skills while encouraging critical thinking and steady academic growth.
Students also enjoy a well-rounded educational experience with weekly rotations in Spanish, Physical Education, Technology (library and computer), and Fine Arts (art and music). These enrichment opportunities allow children to explore their interests, build confidence, and develop creativity alongside strong academic foundations.
At First Wesleyan, elementary students are known, valued, and prepared—not only for the next grade level, but for a lifetime of learning and faith.
Third grade recently finished a unit on Owls. They did a really fun research project and for the finale, they dissected owl pellets.
