It is imperative that they understand the processes of change, upheaval, and growth which have produced the world in which they live. As children of God, they should be able to respect, understand and appreciate other cultures and individuals. Through the discovery process and scientific method, they develop a knowledge of and respect for all forms of live and become familiar with commonly accepted scientific theories and laws. Life science, earth science, and physical science are taught at every grade level.

Emphasis is placed on hands-on lab experiences, science fair, and interactive computer work.

Motor development, exercise, healthy living, athletic skills and rolls, and team work are essential elements to a complete program.
