MILPITAS CHRISTIAN SCHOOL'S ELEMENTARY PROGRAM EQUIPS CHILDREN IN TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN/KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 5TH GRADE. CHILDREN, CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, DESERVE A COMPLETE EDUCATION FOR THEIR MIND (MENTAL), HEART (EMOTIONAL), SOUL (SPIRITUAL) AND BODY (PHYSICAL). IN THE EARLY GRADES, THE EMPHASIS IS ON A DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH TO LEARNING. WE ASSIST STUDENTS TO BECOME GOOD CITIZENS. OUR MUSIC, DRAMA, ART AND PHYSICAL SKILL DEVELOPMENTS HELP CHILDREN APPRECIATE BEAUTY IN GOD'S CREATION. BY LEARNING TO EXPRESS THEIR CREATIVE IMPULSES IN PLEASING WAYS, STUDENTS DEVELOP HEALTHY HABITS AND A SENSE OF CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP AND SPORTSMANSHIP.BY INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY AND ROBOTICS INTO ELEMENTARY EDUCATION, CHILDREN DEVELOP AN EXCEPTIONAL ACADEMIC FOUNDATION AT THE EARLIEST YEARS. OUR MERITORIOUS OUTDOOR EDUCATION, CHORAL/INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PROGRAMS AND ACADEMIC COMPETITIONS ARE INSPIRATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS.

BY PROVIDING A FRAMEWORK TO INSTILL HIGHER-ORDER THINKING SKILLS (ANALYZING, EVALUATING, SYNTHESIZING INFORMATION), STUDENTS GO FAR BEYOND REMEMBERING FACTS AND UNDERSTANDING CONTEXT. OUR CURRICULUM HELPS STUDENTS TO REACH A POSITION AND SUPPORT THEIR BELIEF BASED UPON THEIR CRITICAL DECISION-MAKING SKILLS.
