Education for Young Students
We recognize that as your child enters Kindergarten, they are also entering a period of substantial growth. At Royal Palm Academy, we meet your child where they are at to help them progress academically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually in a safe and fun learning environment. Your child is becoming more aware of the world around them, and we are here to support them by building on their knowledge, challenging them with new concepts, and bolstering their self-confidence.
Kindergarten
While Kindergarten is a more structured learning environment, children will experience a fun, hands-on approach to learning that will inspire their curiosity, engage their imagination, and encourage critical thinking. Your child will be introduced to classroom rules, homework, and grades, which promotes responsibility and accountability. Our Kindergarten curriculum focuses on:
- Reading comprehension and spelling
- Writing and critical thinking skills
- Problem-solving and math applications
- Increased learning in science and social studies
- Deeper understanding of Christianity
1st and 2nd Grade
Grades 1 and 2 are a significant time for children as they are accelerating as learners, asking more questions, and wondering about the world around them. At Royal Palm Academy, our curriculums for this age group encourage this time of discovery and limitless possibilities with an educational environment that promotes safety, patience, and objectivity. Students can grow academically and spiritually while embracing their individuality and collaborating with their peers. Our robust curriculums continue to build on their knowledge of language arts, history, science, and religion.
