ACADEMICS
King’s Way Christian Elementary School has developed a curriculum to challenge the intellectual development of our students as well as integrate Biblical principles throughout the entire school day.
Our elementary school students are purposefully and intentionally taught to be respectful responsible .
Where we love to learn and learn to love
We Value What You Value
King’s Way Christian Elementary School places a great emphasis on values. The unique combination of academic excellence and spiritual devotion makes King’s Way rise above the rest.
A growing awareness of the people around us and how each child fits into the community is a value that King’s Way Christian wishes to impart to all of its students. Our students are involved in many projects that help instill the moral values by which God has called us to live. Through service projects, sacrificial giving, and hands-on curriculum, King’s Way Christian strives to teach an appreciation and dedication to God through moral responsibilities.
King’s Way Christian Elementary School seeks to:
- Teach students the importance of loving and respecting each other, because all people are valuable in God’s eyes, regardless of physical, social, economic, ethnic, or other factors.
- Teach students to recognize their weaknesses without developing a sense of failure, to overcome their weaknesses when possible, and to develop their strengths without developing arrogance.
- Provide students with the opportunity to participate in group activities designed to develop cooperative attitudes and skills; deferring to others’ strengths, contributing their own strength, and encouraging each other in areas of weakness.
- Teach students that a person’s value is independent of his or her performance.

The Morning Mile
One of the many things that set King’s Way apart is the recognition of meeting students where they are in order to urge them to a higher standard. The implementation of the Morning Mile is exactly what it sounds like: 15 mins every morning for the students to decide what they need. Some might want to run, walk, talk with friends, or get some extra time with a teacher.
