These experiences are carried on through the Senior Kindergarten program where students move into beginning reading and more advanced math concepts. Children find action-packed days where they develop a love for learning. Students may enroll in Kindergarten for a full day or a half day. The basic curriculum is taught in the mornings, and the afternoons are devoted to enriching morning activities. The elementary classroom is a busy, fast-paced learning environment.
Teachers provide hands-on activities and experiences to enrich and reinforce concepts.
The basic curriculum is a strong program in language arts and mathematics complemented by the content areas of science and social studies. Appropriate student conduct and work habits are emphasized and required. Life skills such as self-discipline and responsibility are considered as important as curriculum skills. In addition to bi-weekly Chapel and daily Bible instruction emphasizing Christian values drawn from Bible stories, Harding teachers provide Christian role models for the children. As opportunities present themselves in all curriculum areas, the authority and love of God are stressed.
