Elementary School Home / Academics / Elementary School A Foundation to Build a Lasting Education At Van Avery Prep, our elementary program fosters curiosity, a love of learning, and strong character in every student. From kindergarten to 5th grade, we blend academics with the arts, physical education, and character development. Our nurturing environment encourages our students to think critically, solve problems creatively, and grow into confident, kind humans. With engaging lessons, hands-on activities, and meaningful extracurriculars, we ensure that each child develops the skills and mindset they need for success. A Look Into Our Classrooms Slide 1 Slide 2 Kindergarten Our kindergarten is a fun and safe place to learn and grow. We help our students feel happy, secure, and excited about learning new things. Our full-day program gives them time to learn, play, and make new friends. Each day, they explore reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. Every week, they also enjoy classes like music, art, P.E., Spanish, character education, and garden science. Our students get to shine in a holiday show and spring play every year. They also go on fun field trips that help them learn even more about what they study in the classroom. 1st–5th Grades 1st–5th Grades Our students in 1st through 5th grade learn to think critically, solve problems, and use their imaginations in unique ways. Our teachers are kind and nurturing. Our classrooms are vibrant, happy places where children feel safe, cared for, and excited to learn new things every day. We want learning to be fun and something they will always remember. Every day, our students read, write, do math, learn about the world, do science experiments, and play in P.E. They also get to enjoy music, art, Spanish, character education, and garden science. They increase their understanding of the world, build problem solving skills, and develop strong character. Throughout the year, they go on field trips, put on plays and music shows, share their art, and experience field day. They also have many ways to learn responsible citizenship through their service projects.
