Faith focuses on the importance of Early Childhood Education. Our teachers meet regularly to discuss developmental needs of all students. With small class sizes, individualized instruction, a focus on multi-intelligence learning, and a caring community that teaches virtues-we are able to develop the whole child. Parents have the option to enroll their students for part or all of the Pre-School through Kindergarten Prep programs.
In addition to our regular academic schedule our elementary students receive a scripture studies class that teaches the importance of virtues, bells, Japanese, art, PE, Chapel singing, and library skills. Our pre-school program also benefits from Japanese, music, and use of our specially designed Sensory Room. |

Our classes offer a state aligned curriculum, state certified teachers, and FOSS Science kits at each level to provide hands on inquiry based experiments.
Faith uses the Developmental Reading Assessment Program. This instrument helps to identify a students reading level and provide specifics on how a child can predict, retell a story, respond to the story, and a child’s comprehension of what is read. By assessing students with this instruments teachers are able to assist students in choosing books at their level or to challenge students to improve their reading ability. Classroom instruction combines phonics instruction with whole language to meet the needs of all learners.
