Q:

A:

Our community day begins with everyone gathering in the sanctuary where we say the Pledge of Allegiance, pray together, and sing as a group. Then we begin recitations of memory verses, poetry, or famous speeches. Ages 10 and older are required to recite every community day, if they have nothing prepared, they must come to the front and say their name.

After our opening time, students divide into two groups by age. One group remains upstairs for an art lesson featuring a well-known artist, while the other group goes downstairs to learn about a famous composer. The groups then switch rooms so each student can participate in both lessons, with instruction tailored appropriately for each age level.

Next, we take a break for snack and playtime before dividing into four age-based groups:

· Scions — PreK through 1st grade

· Tributaries — 2nd through 4th grade

· Bareans — 5th through 7th grade

· Rubicons— 8th grade through High School

Within these groups, students participate in literature discussions and readings, as well as science instruction.
