An Environment for Children to Learn
& Grow
Hands-on-Learning
Our elementary classes use Bob Jones Press which is flexible for all types of stages of learning. The classroom develops the joy of learning through both teacher-guided and independent discovery-based activities. Daily themed lessons with characters teach foundational skills that are supported with music and engaging visuals. They are given daily opportunities to develop critical thinking, communication, creativity and collaboration. In addition to the core subjects, Maranatha students are given opportunities to explore and develop interests in art, music, physical education, and technology. Our hands-on-learning not only sets each child for success but it’s foundation is from a Christian World View.
