primary program

We take a one-room schoolhouse approach within age integrated learning groups.   We incorporate modern methods of pedagogy for all types of learners. Student to teacher ratios are what make the one-room approach work. The integrated classroom also encourages students socially, spiritually, and cognitively. 

Our students work through specific learning groups rather than grades. All math and science classes are offered at a simultaneous time so that students can move up or down according to their ability.    We  limit classes and teach subjects in context. Our integrated humanities course  has an annual theme that all learning groups are working through together.  Our humanities incorporates reading, writing, poetry, grammar, spelling, history language, and Bible. Science is learned through hands on experiments at the early stages (where major concepts  are practically realized) and older students learn important scientific skills in investigating God's world. Memorization is practiced through songs, skits, and games. Classical input is given to each student and the expectation of output is based on their God-given abilities. This enables us to take students that are either  accelerated, average  or delayed in learning.

We offer a robust academic program that is fun. Our goal is not only to teach students concrete concepts but to do so in a way that fosters an intense love for learning. We accomplish this through story. Minimal homework in the early years gives valuable time with family. We add homework as the students grow in responsibility but we desire to foster a love for learning first.  Children also need to learn responsibilities outside of academics.  Family time, work opportunities, and unique experiences  are  also integral to development and knowing more about God's world.  

Our three day core (Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday) affords important time  for families that are able to provide other opportunities for their children. Our Monday & Friday option gives families with working parents or struggling students the ability to round out their education at Jubilee through additional arts classes, field trips and personalized tutoring.
