Lower School: Kindergarten – Grade 5
At The Academy of Christian Education, our Lower School—covering Kindergarten through Grade 5—marks the Grammar Stage of learning. This critical stage lays the foundation for lifelong learning by equipping students with essential tools, knowledge, and habits of thought. Here, natural curiosity is embraced and directed as students explore a wide range of subjects in a structured yet joyful environment.
Education in the Lower School comes alive through engaging methods such as observing, memorizing, singing, chanting, and interactive games. Senior Kindergarten students begin learning cursive while deepening their understanding of numbers, words, time, and sentence structure. As they progress through the elementary grades, students master cursive writing, proper grammar, and continue to advance in math through a customized, accelerated program tailored to their individual pace and potential.
ACE students immerse themselves in re-enactments of historical events, study great works of literature, and explore the wonder of God’s creation through hands-on science instruction. Character development and critical thinking are woven into every subject, nurturing both the heart and mind.
Our well-rounded academic experience is further enriched by a variety of specialty classes offered throughout the week. These include:
Physical Education – Beginning in Senior Kindergarten and continuing through Grade 5, encouraging fitness, teamwork, and healthy habits.
Spanish – Starting in Senior Kindergarten, students engage in a weekly foreign language program through Grade 5.
Art, Music, Technology & STEAM – Creative and exploratory learning that complements core subjects and fosters innovation and expression.
At ACE, we believe education should be immersive, collaborative, and inspiring. Our Lower School sets the stage for confident learners who are prepared to excel academically, grow spiritually, and lead with character.
