1st - 6th Grades

From kindergarten to sixth grade, children have a natural zeal for learning. We make the most of this exciting time with an engaging hands-on curriculum that provides solid academic and spiritual foundations. Small class sizes allow our teachers to know their students exceptionally well, including their unique learning styles and how to best equip them for success. 

FPDS is a close-knit community. Elementary-age students enjoy a safe and nurturing environment that feels like a second home.

Why Do Parents Choose FPDS for Elementary School?

Solid Foundations in Reading & Math
A strong phonics-based curriculum paired with trade book level reading helps students develop fluency and fosters a genuine love for reading and writing. In math, they use manipulatives and other tools as well as memorization to become efficient problem solvers.

Faith Formation
Each subject is taught from a biblical perspective, which helps students understand God’s word and how it is relevant in every area of their lives. Elementary students develop strong Christian values as they learn to use their gifts to serve God and others.

21st Century Learning
Technology is integrated throughout the curriculum in an age-appropriate way. Students become proficient with computers, utilize interactive white boards in the classroom, and enjoy other experiential learning tools and activities.

Social-Emotional Development
Our on staff school counselor visits and meets with each class to foster social/emotional development. This helps students develop skills such as communication, collaboration, and compassion for others.

Enriching Experiences 
Elementary students have enrichment classes on a weekly basis, including art, music, physical education, library, and computer. They participate in many special performances, enjoy themed events, field trips, and participate in after school activities.
