Elementary Curriculum

Fine Art is built into our weekly curriculum from transitional kindergarten to fifth grade.  Wesleyan students create a variety of projects using mediums such as drawing, painting, sculpture, sewing, plaster, clay and weaving.

Wesleyan elementary students are able to explore and check out books from our Media Center / Library.  The Media Center is a place where students grow as readers, use collaboration and research skills, and are exposed to many book genres.  Wesleyan generally hosts two book fairs annually.

Students participate in grade appropriate music instruction to develop skills in playing various instruments, visual and aural identification of instruments, score reading, music history, movement to music, and vocal and instrumental performance.  

Students in transitional kindergarten through fourth grade develop fundamental gross motor and locomotor movements, sports skills, and an understanding of the importance of overall fitness.  They work on abilities related to both individual and team sports while learning the qualities of good sportsmanship.

Students attend Wesleyan's S.T.E.M. Lab every six days to experience grade appropriate, hands-on, enrichment activities which emphasize and complement the science instruction and units of study in the classroom.

Students attend technology class and become familiar with using their Chromebooks in a multitude of ways.  Fundamental computer skills are taught to our youngest learners and typing instruction begins in third grade.  Students use technology in the classroom to enhance the learning experience.  A portion of this class is designated to introduce basic foreign language vocabulary and conversation.

Fall, winter, and spring MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) testing is completed annually.  The MAP scores are used to verify that our teachers are teaching at or above grade level.

Elementary students attend chapel once a week for worship, teaching by various speakers, and age appropriate biblical application.  Scripture is the centerpiece of our chapel experience.  

Every day, students have the opportunity to move and practice socialization skills during their outdoor playtime.

Resource is available for first though fourth grade students.  The primary goal of Resource is to support the core instruction of the classroom and provide accommodations when necessary.  Students are able to be pulled out for Resource support for math and ELA.  Students who need academic support beyond what our Resource faculty can provide or in additional subject areas can seek assistance through The Enrichment Center at Wesleyan Christian Academy.  There is an additional cost for Resource and Enrichment Center classes.

Students who have a need for articulation or language related interventions are able to be pulled out by our staff Speech and Language Pathologist in small group or one-on-one instruction.  There is an additional charge for this service.
