ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: YEARS 1-4

We aim at offering all our students a broad and balanced curriculum that provides rewarding and stimulating activities to prepare them for the best social and cultural life.

Our mathematics curriculum is focused on building a strong foundation in mathematics concepts and problem-solving skills. We believe that mathematics is not just about memorizing formulas and rules, but about developing problem-solving skills and understanding mathematical concepts at a deeper level. Our curriculum encourages critical thinking, creativity, and perseverance while building a strong foundation in mathematical principles.

 

The elementary math curriculum equips students with a basic yet solid grasp of mathematical concepts, skills, and applications. At the elementary level, students learn primary functions of arithmetic and how to apply it into daily life situations.

Our science education aims to go beyond rote learning and encourage critical thinking through question-based learning. This approach acknowledges that students learn best when they are curious and engaged in the learning process. By encouraging students to ask questions, We create an environment that fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Moreover, laboratories provide hands-on experimentation opportunities where students can explore scientific concepts practically, enhancing their learning further. As a result, Wisdom Spring instill a lifelong love of learning and help students develop critical thinking skills that can be applied not just in science, but in all facets of life.

 

For the elementary level, students explore the natural sciences of earth science, astronomy, and botany.

Our English language arts program is designed to nurture Christian values and promote individual learning through living books. Our curriculum advances reading, writing, and speaking skills that allow our students to delve into the English language’s richness, while simultaneously deepening their understanding of their faith. We believe in providing students with a well-rounded education that fosters intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth.

 

Grammar

At the elementary level, students learn basic phonics and grammar rules, punctuation, parts of speech, reading and comprehension, different sentence types, how to write a letter, and how to write a dictionary.

 

Writing

WSA’s elementary writing class gives students the key components of any writing. Short story writing is explored using different parts of speech such as nouns, verbs, and adjectives.

 

Word Building

Words are the building blocks of life. Hence why we dedicate an entire subject to the study of words! In elementary word building otherwise known as etymology, students learn the makeup of words and dabble with phonics rules, word concepts, affixes and contractions, and auditory and visual discrimination.

 

At Wisdom Spring, social studies education is designed to help students understand the world they live in and their place in it. This is achieved through hands-on learning and engaging teaching methods such as living books, timeline creation, and map study. Through question-based learning techniques, students are encouraged to ask questions and think critically, to develop a deeper understanding of history, geography, economics, and politics. Social studies education in Wisdom Spring is focused on biblical principles, and students learn not only about the past but how they can serve God and their communities in the future. Overall, we provide a rich and engaging social studies education that equips students with the knowledge, skills, and values they need to become responsible and engaged members of their society.

 

At the elementary level, students learn major continental history, ethnic history, and American history from the time of the ancient Americas to the Gold Rush.
