Lower School
The Lower School at Crossroads Christian School includes students from kindergarten through fourth grades. The teachers and administration of the Lower School strive to provide a structured and nurturing environment, where the spiritual, social, and academic needs of all students can be addressed.
Lower School students receive grade-level
appropriate instruction in the following areas:
- Bible
- Reading
- Writing
- Spelling
- Math
- Social Studies
- Science
Each Lower School class has a daily opportunity to attend an enrichment class, called “specials,” which can include some or all of the following, depending on the grade level:
- Art
- Music
- Computer
- Library
- PE
- Spanish
The Lower School family worships together each Tuesday morning in Chapel. The Lower School teachers offer after-school tutoring in various academic areas. The tutoring schedules are developed by each individual teacher. It is the desire of the Lower School teachers and administration to see spiritual, social, and academic growth in each child throughout the school year.
Lower School classes each enjoy a snack every day. Students are responsible for bringing in their own snack daily. Classes go to lunch on a staggered schedule. Our cafeteria offers a hot lunch each Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday with a salad bar available, and a soup of the week available in the winter months. Ice cream, cookies, and other snacks are available for sale through the cafeteria as well. On Thursdays & Fridays, students have the option of Chick-fil-a and Jersey Mike’s (orders must be placed by Monday for these options). Lower School students may also bring their own lunch from home any day of the week, and microwaves are available in the cafeteria for any heat-ups.
Lower School students have the opportunity throughout the school year to be involved in extracurricular activities. Students also participate in class field trips to various points of interest throughout the school year. Girls can join the Little Colts cheer squad (grades K4 – 3rd) or the Junior Colts cheer squad (4th – 6th grades) to help cheer on our basketball teams during the winter sports season. Lower School students also perform a Christmas musical and a program for Grandparents Day each school year, which is always a real treat!
