School (Labor Day through Memorial
Day)

3 years old - Kindergarten
These children explore
the Bible using
the “Walk With Me” curriculum. This
program uses music, games and age
appropriate hands on activities to
teach both Old and New Testament
stories.
1st through 5th
Graders
This age group uses the Workshop
Rotation Model method of teaching
Bible stories and themes. In this
model, each story or theme is taught
in 4 week units using a rotation
schedule. Each week children learn
the Bible story in a different way
through different workshops.
Workshops include video, art, drama,
computer, cooking, mission and
science. Using multiple
intelligences enhances learning of
the targeted Bible story.
