The role of the Primary years (K-Grade 4) is to build a solid foundation of academic knowledge, social and emotional intelligence, and, most importantly, character and spiritual development based on our true example who is Christ.
Our teachers desire that students fall in love with learning through rich and engaging learning opportunities. A strong emphasis on Early Literacy requires a comprehensive program based on the Four Blocks of Literacy: guided reading, self-selected reading, writing, and working on words.
The Math program in the primary years begins with Mindful Math, a program designed to encourage mental math skills and thinking through math concepts rather than just memorizing them. Students move to Saxon Math in Grades 3 and 4 which is a cyclical curriculum that contains spiral review to ensure mastery of each concept. Students benefit from games, hands-on tasks, manipulative and math stories which engage and extend the learning.
In Science and Social Studies, units of study are designed to develop each student’s biblical worldview through inquiry, project-based learning and cross-curricular learning adventures, all while mastering the curriculum.
P.E., Music, Drama and Art programs are also integral parts of the academic curriculum, offering all students different opportunities to stretch themselves and discover their talents.
Our Christian Schools International Bible curriculum encourages students and teachers alike to walk with God in the classroom. The curriculum builds on Old Testament and New Testament knowledge across the grades.
Each area of our curriculum also gives students opportunities for social-emotional development, problem-solving, collaboration, creativity, fostering healthy relationships with their peers, and, most importantly, pointing students to look to Jesus as their friend and Savior.
Kindergarten
Kindergarten at BC Christian Academy: Where the Love for Learning Begins
Kindergarten is where the love for learning is sparked, and a world of possibilities unfolds. It sets the foundation for your child’s lifelong educational journey and provides the framework for life skills they need for the years to come. At BC Christian Academy, we understand the importance of these formative years, and we partner with parents to provide the support and tools their child needs for this journey.
Exploring God’s World
Our Kindergarten program nurtures children’s natural curiosity as they discover God’s creation and His purpose for their lives. Through play, worship, and learning, they experience the awe and wonder of God while growing in their unique gifts.
Christ-Centred Education
With Christ at the core, our dedicated teachers provide a fun, biblically grounded curriculum where children grow academically and spiritually. Literacy, numeracy, science, art, and music are all taught from a biblical perspective.
Holistic Learning
Hands-on experiences like forest walks, egg-hatching, and music lessons engage children as independent thinkers, collaborative learners, and creative problem-solvers.
Compassionate Community
In our close-knit, family-like environment, children learn the importance of compassion and care for one another and their community.
At BCCA, we believe Kindergarten is more than just learning ABCs and 123s—it’s about building character, forming friendships, and cultivating a Christ-centered foundation for a lifetime of learning.
Kindergarten Admissions
To register for Kindergarten, children must be 5 years old on or before December 31 of the upcoming school year. Application packages are available through the school office and must be completed in full. We encourage families to apply early, as space is limited.
Once we receive your completed application, we will contact you to schedule an interview with the Elementary Principal. After the interview, your application will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee, and you will be notified of the decision in a timely manner.
