Kindergarten

At Ark Christian Academy, our Kindergarten program is ideal for children who are ready for more. We use a 1st Grade-aligned curriculum, thoughtfully adapted to meet the developmental needs of 5- to 6-year-olds. This accelerated program challenges students academically while fostering creativity, confidence, and a strong love of learning.  By prioritizing advanced reading skills within a rich and diverse curriculum, we empower young learners to thrive academically and beyond. 

Our goal is to ensure each child is not only ready for 1st grade—but already thriving at that level.
