Pre-registration allows us to account for every individual in the building, including parents and siblings, so we can stay within our capacity and maintain a safe, comfortable environment.

A:

Many of our classes are mixed-age to encourage connection, mentorship, and flexibility in learning.

Q:

A:

We intentionally keep our class sizes small, with a maximum of 10 students per class.

Smaller class sizes allow for more meaningful interaction, hands-on learning, and stronger relationships between students and teachers. It also helps create a calm, supportive environment where each child is seen, known, and able to fully engage.

Our teachers are passionate and knowledgeable in the subjects they teach and bring a heart for working with students. While they may not all hold formal teaching degrees, they are selected for their experience, gifting, and alignment with our mission.

Q:

Yes. All teachers and classroom aides are required to complete background checks.

Our program runs from 9:30 AM–12:30 PM, with two 40-minute enrichment classes, a 10-minute transition, and a 30-minute midday break. Each first-period class begins with a brief, Christ-centered devotional and the Lord’s Prayer.

Families may also register for an optional, hour-long club from 11:30 AM–12:30 PM. Parents and their younger children are welcome to relax and connect with other families in our Family Lounge while their children participate.

Q:

A:

Parents and younger siblings gather in the designated family area while students are in class.

Q:

A:

Because our program is built around community, relationships, and consistent participation, we ask families to make every effort to attend each week.

Two consecutive unexcused absences may result in removal from the program so that a spot can be offered to a family on our waitlist. If your family anticipates an extended absence or has circumstances that affect attendance, please communicate with us as soon as possible.

Q:

A:

Yes, parents may sit in on a class as a short-term transition for students who are new to being in a class setting independently. We simply ask that this be communicated and approved ahead of time to ensure we can maintain a comfortable and safe classroom environment.

Siblings not enrolled in the program and under the age of 3 must remain in the family lounge under the supervision of their parent or guardian.
