Elementary School (Grades 1 – 6)

Biblical Standards, Critical Thinking, and Collaboration

At Killian Hill Christian School, each student experiences standards-based instruction in Bible, math, language arts (reading, grammar, writing, spelling), science, and social studies. Critical thinking, discovery and investigation, and collaboration are essential 21st-century competencies integrated throughout our curriculum. Additionally, students participate in weekly chapels and daily Bible instruction. Every subject is taught through the lens of Biblical truth.

Technology is integrated across the curriculum through the use of LCD projectors, iPads for both students and teachers and computer instruction during the STEM specials class. Furthermore, KHCS teachers conduct help classes for elementary school students.

Additional to core classes, students also experience different specials classes including the following:

  • Foreign Language
  • STEM
  • Music
  • Art & Drama
  • Physical Education
  • Library

Art and drama classes are scheduled throughout the year as focused opportunities.

 


Extracurricular Activities


Arts and Athletics:

In addition to daily recess and weekly physical education for all elementary students, sixth graders may also participate in middle school sports. All elementary school students participate in general music classes where the curriculum emphasizes music theory, introduction to musical instruments, and development of singing.

After-school clubs:

Staffed by faculty members and parent/grandparent volunteers, various opportunities to enrich the body, mind, and spirit are available after school in the fall to all elementary school students. Recent club offerings have included Understanding God’s Work in the Gospel, Bible Memory, Competition Math, Family Feud, Running Club, Gardening, Games and Puzzles, and Fun with Food.

Our club offerings for elementary school students are subject to change annually, guided by the interests and requests of our students, as well as the expertise and passion of our dedicated club teachers. This dynamic approach ensures that our students have the chance to explore a diverse range of activities that align with their developing interests and the school’s commitment to holistic education.
