Prep-K at Heritage Christian School

Prep-K students learn to draw upon personal experiences as well as their imagination as a basis for their art. Students work with a variety of materials and art tools such as paints, paper, crayons, glue, and scissors as well as unconventional media in planned projects and free expression lessons. The process and experience is more important than the final product at this age.

Prep-K students learn that the Bible is the true word of God and that Jesus Christ is our Savior. They learn to talk with Jesus through prayer, worship Him through song, memorize His word, and apply Biblical truths through their actions in and out of the classroom.

These processes develop over time with the help of adults who connect math to everyday activities.”
