The primary grades have a profound, lifelong effect on social, emotional, moral and academic development. During these years essential IQ and EQ skills are learned that build a student’s self-confidence inside and outside of the classroom. At Incarnation School, we help young children build the strongest foundation possible as they deepen their love of Jesus and grow into values-centered and academically prepared students. In our school we cherish each child’s unique gifts and talents and nourish these by knowing that:

• Each child learns at their own pace and our individualized instruction meets them where they are.
• Children thrive in learning environments that are engaging, caring, developmentally appropriate, integrated, and challenging.
• An effective curriculum is interdisciplinary with an emphasis on hands-on learning, providing continual opportunities for children to question, research and analyze. This supports a healthy balance among the social, emotional, intellectual and physical development of the individual child.
• The learning environment must provide opportunities for children to explore, to play, to investigate, and to communicate their ideas and findings.
• Observation and documentation of how each child plans, executes, and completes a task is core to the assessment and future curriculum planning for each child.
• Social-emotional intelligence is essential for future life success, thus children have fun developing character, competence and compassion, as well as learning the ins-and-outs of good manners, social grace, etiquette and respect of self and others.
