Young students are most successful in an educational environment conducive to the integration of subject material and flexibility in instruction.  Thus, LCA offers a block scheduling of classes for Kindergarten through sixth grades.  Parents of Kindergarten students may register them for a morning academic block.  Parents of 1^st-6^th grade students may register their students for one or both of the academic blocks - morning or afternoon. They may also register their student(s) for elective courses.  First - sixth grade students will receive daily instruction in conversational Spanish, including singing and scripture recitation.  Recess will be a part of the elementary day for all grades. 

 Age requirements:  By September 1, students must be five, six, seven, and eight for entrance into Kindergarten, first, second, and third grades respectively.  For fourth-sixth grades, parents are strongly encouraged to keep their student at the grade level dictated by their age (i.e. not advance to a higher grade level).  An occasional exception may be made with the approval of the Elementary Director.

 KINDERGARTEN MORNING BLOCK (T/Th only)

Students will focus on English and math using an integrated approach to the curriculum.  The monthly Biblical character trait will be reinforced in the classroom.  Students will go home for lunch.

FIRST - SIXTH MORNING BLOCK

Students will focus on English and history using an integrated approach to the curriculum.  The monthly Biblical character traits introduced in elementary chapel will be reinforced in the classroom.

 FIRST - SIXTH AFTERNOON BLOCK 

      Students will focus on science and math skills.  The monthly Biblical character traits introduced in elementary chapel will be reinforced in the classroom. 

 CHAPEL (1^st-6^th)

Students will enjoy fellowship with one another as they worship the Lord and focus on His character.  Chapel is included in either the morning or afternoon block and, therefore, students must be enrolled in the appropriate block to attend chapel.

 STUDY HALL

Because young children do not have the maturity to work independently for long periods of time, Kindergarten through sixth grade students will not be allowed to enroll in a study hall during the morning or afternoon blocks.  However, 1^st-6^th grade elementary students will be allowed to enroll in one study hall after the afternoon block is dismissed (M/W/F only).
