Lower School – Grades 1 through 5

A Lower School education at Temple Academy provides strong academics in the basics of reading, language arts, and mathematics as well as a solid foundation in history and science, all taught from the perspective of a biblical worldview.

Art, music, physical education, athletics, and more are also a part of the curricular process, during and after regular school hours. Various classroom activities, weekly chapels, and other in- and out-of-school events provide our students with opportunities for creativity, service, and leadership development.

Students in grades 1 through 5 must be fully engaged to reach their full potential whether it be academically, socially, or emotionally. This is a critical time when they form deep friendships, learn to support each other, and work in cooperation with others. Yet our teachers work hard at providing differentiated instruction because children are unique individuals.

Academic development

Lower school students will encounter a fun, yet challenging curriculum that includes Bible, mathematics, reading, writing, history, and science.

Biblical immersion

Weekly chapel is one of the highlights of the week, but our entire curriculum is immersed in the Scriptures. Your child will be taught to think biblically and critically by measuring every truth claim they encounter against the inerrant Word of God. The mind of Christ is the end of an authentically Christian education.

Enhanced learning

Your child will enjoy a variety of co-curricular activities, such as music, physical education, library, and Junior Crusader intramural and interscholastic sports.
