Kindergarten-5th Grade
In the Grammar stage, a student’s strength is their capacity to absorb information easily. Oftentimes, memorization is fun! Our task at this stage is to give students the raw materials that they will eventually use to recognize patterns and begin to think critically. Students enjoy memorizing and take pride in accomplishing it.
At LifeSpring Academy we love watching our youngest learners engage in activities that involve students gaining deep conceptual understanding of the world around them. Through games, hands on activities, living books, and just having fun learning, our School of Grammar helps students build a great foundation. This is the time to give them lots of facts to memorize while using this time to explore and enjoy their natural curiosity.

A CHRIST-CENTERED ENVIRONMENT
We believe that God made each child unique and recognize that no two students learn in the exact same way. Because of our small class sizes, teachers can differentiate instruction to connect with students and maximize their learning. Through phonics-based reading, hands-on math, STEM-based science, and blended learning, students build a strong academic foundation as they become critical thinkers.
Bible study is not limited to one part of the school day. Teachers model biblical principles and integrate God’s word into every subject, instilling Christian character and values in their students. At LSA, we don’t just want our students to become good learners; we want them to become good friends and community members, who love God and their neighbors.
