ELEMENTARY LEVELS
Kindergarten - 4th Grade
Tuesday/Thursday | 8:45am-2:45pm
In a spirit of describing the nature of our students, we give names to our class levels:
Kindergarteners are Discoverers
1st & 2nd Graders are Explorers
3rd & 4th Graders are Adventurers
In Elementary Years (K-4), the educational experience at DaySpring is dynamic alive, and relevant. It exposes students to rich literature, a variety of writing styles, conceptual math skills, an overview of historical events, science concepts, and the arts. Our curriculum and book choices help build curiosity about the world and teachers provide many hands-on activities that engage young bodies and minds.
For Elementary, parents should expect to direct and work side by side at home with their child. The at-home work on Mondays and Wednesdays will require parents to read to children, teach a math lesson, interpret directions, engage in hands-on activities, guide them in writing assignments, help them do research....Parents should expect to spend about 4 hours per day on school depending on the attention span of their student.
ENRICHMENT FRIDAYS
Kindergarten thru 6th Grade
These Friday specialty classes enrich the educational experience of our students: giving them the opportunity to explore art, music, dance, engineering, circus, drama and much more. We also open these classes to the greater Saint Louis homeschool community.
K-4th | Tue/Thu with an Enrichment Friday option
​
All the students in these levels do Academics on Tuesdays and Thursdays in their regular classroom with their teacher and peers.
On Fridays, students have the unique opportunity to take a day of specialty classes to receive quality, hands-on professional training in dance, music, theatre, art, literature, and robotics classes. Students can choose classes that they are most interested in to build their Friday schedule.
This model gives students a well rounded education. They get classroom time to learn with others, individual time at home with parents, and a full day (Friday) to explore their own choices of enriching classes.
