Parents want to make sure their children have a solid educational foundation prior to kindergarten, knowing that academic rigor begins earlier in elementary school than when they were children.
In its inaugural year, the Bridge Class at Liberty Christian School presented a solution by offering 5-year-olds a class specifically designed for them, preparing students for academic success in the years to come.
Principal Tana Smith said, “Children who attend Bridge Class are more likely to acquire the academic skills, confidence, and maturity they need to succeed in school, as students are given the gift of time to develop maturity and kindergarten readiness.”
Bridge Class Highlights
• Integrates science, technology, engineering, and math into literature-rich lessons
• Incorporates award-winning children’s literature to engage students in all areas of academic content
• Utilizes guided reading, phonemic awareness, shared reading, and fluency, as well as writing opportunities through a workshop approach
