Building Strong Foundations for a Lifetime of Learning
The elementary years at East Valley Christian School provide a crucial foundation for academic success, spiritual growth, and character development. During these formative years, our students develop essential skills, establish positive learning habits, and begin to discover their unique God-given gifts and abilities.
A Nurturing Learning Environment
Our elementary program creates a safe, supportive atmosphere where students are known, valued, and challenged to reach their full potential. Small class sizes ensure that teachers can provide individual attention and tailor instruction to meet diverse learning needs. Our classrooms are designed to be engaging spaces where students can explore, collaborate, and develop a genuine love for learning.
Comprehensive Academic Program
The elementary curriculum at EVCS is anchored by the BJU Press Curriculum, providing a rigorous academic foundation with a biblical worldview. Our program includes:
Our language arts program builds strong literacy skills through systematic phonics, exposure to diverse literature, and focused writing instruction in narrative, informative, and opinion styles. Students also develop grammar, spelling, vocabulary, speaking, listening, research, and library skills to become effective communicators and critical thinkers.
Enrichment Opportunities
Beyond core academics, our elementary students benefit from a variety of enrichment experiences:
