The primary program follows the structure and goals of “kindergarten” in the United States. Children who are five years old by September 1st of that academic school year are welcome to join the class. The purpose of our primary program is to encourage the all-around development of the child, emotional, physical, spiritual, and academic. Students are guided in creative thinking and problem solving activities, and they learn to get along in a community of children with an emphasis on sharing and respect. Each day the students participate in Bible, math, language arts, free play and center time. Art, music, physical education, German, and computer instruction are also important elements of the primary class. By the end of the year, students will be ready to enter the first grade at VCS.
