“Out of the babes and suckling, you have brought perfect praise” The Gospel According to St. Matthew 21:16
St. Elijah provides a unique approach to learning that encompasses all aspects of the child: mind, body and soul. Our teachers use the Montessori approach in directed individual and group learning times. St. Elijah has also adopted the High Reach Learning curriculum which is a research based curriculum designed for infants through Kindergarten. High Reach Learning curriculum covers all areas of learning, including language development, reasoning, problem solving and much more! Our program provides cognitive, motor and sensory activities designed to appeal specifically to the interests and abilities of toddlers while developmentally appropriate language, social, and practical – life activities are offered to our older classrooms. We are also excited about our new Orthodox curriculum, which we are integrating with the “High Reach” curriculum. The Orthodox curriculum is taught daily, as a foundation or our classes, teaching children about the faith and practices of our church. Trust in the child to explore, self learn, and initiates are key in the classroom at St. Elijah.The environment is prepared for this exploration, and children are encouraged to actively participate in the learning process. Children are given ample time to explore and play in our new outdoor playground facility and in our new state-of-the-art gymnasium during inclement weather.Orthodox Christian teachings, values and principles are incorporated throughout the learning process at St. Elijah. The children will be introduced to prayer, stories from the Bible and Christian songs each day.
