Baymonte has two classes of students enrolled in each of our elementary grade levels. Our teachers are state credentialed and ACSI certified. Teacher aides are also assigned to kindergarten, first, second, and third grade classrooms.
All elementary students receive music instruction twice per week. Fourth grade students participate in beginning band. Each class participates in physical education twice per week which is led by our PE specialist.
At the elementary grade levels there are many opportunities for parental participation in the school program. In the primary grades many parents assist the teachers in staffing learning centers. Parents assist as chaperones for a variety of field trips that support the classroom curriculum.
Our school takes the investment in curriculum very seriously. Each year we adopt new curriculum for a different subject area. The teaching staff is actively involved in the selection of all curriculum materials. We follow the State of California Educational Framework and Content Standards for the primary content of the subject area content. Most of the textbooks we select are state approved texts. Classroom teachers integrate biblical truth and Christian values throughout the curriculum.
