Grace Christian School uses a combination of "A Beka Book" and Bob Jones Press curriculums in kindergarten. This program includes Bible, phonics, reading, manuscript writing, numbers, and simple math. With these concepts in hand, the student can then confidently enter first grade and his/her parents can be assured that he is more than adequately prepared.

Half-day kindergarten is provided for 3 and 4 year old children, with day care available for parents who need an all-day program. It is our desire to present K3 and K4 students with a variety of learning situations and information without the pressure or stress of grading. Our 5 year old curriculum exceeds the requirements set forth by the South Carolina Department of Education. Students' work is sent home to parents weekly, and report cards are issued quarterly.

Kindergarten students participate in class music, library time, introduction to computers, field trips to local parks, the zoo, and the SC State Fair. Kindergarten classes also have special days such as:

• Grown Up Day
• Farm Day
• Slipper Day
• Kindergarten Fair Day
• Clown Day
• Pilgrim and Indian Day
• Valentine's Day

All kindergarten classes participate in the K5 graduation program at the end of each year. K5 graduates can read and are well prepared for first grade.
