New Hope
...Graham, Washington. Although the campus began by offering only pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classes, it has blossomed into a thriving pre-kindergarten through sixth grade school serving families throughout many communities in Pierce County. The New Hope Campus enjoys an excellent reputation in the community for equipping young people with a quality Christian education. Our program provides a strong foundation in the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic, augmented with computer instruction, physical education, music, and art. Many of our teachers have been at the school for over 15 years, providing great stability, experience, and continuity to the program. The New Hope Campus offers a beautiful facility, including gymnasium, cafeteria, library (over 5000 volumes!), well-equipped playground, computer lab, and more.
Many argue that the elementary years in the development of the child are the most critical in the life of an individual. At this stage of life young people are forming habits they will carry with them throughout the remainder of their lives.
Students are given instruction in a nurturing environment by Christian teachers who are positive role models. Students are taught critical character lessons in their daily Bible classes and weekly chapels. All subject matter is presented from a distinctly Christian, Biblical point of view. Biblical integration in all subject areas is conducted daily. This spiritual emphasis is characteristic at all levels of instruction throughout the district.
During the early elementary years, our students are given a strong foundation in reading. Our students learn to read beginning in pre-kindergarten using a strong phonics-based curriculum. By the early primary years our students have become proficient in what has been argued to be one of the most import life skills- Reading!
Our students begin writing beautifully in pre-kindergarten and continue to develop their ability in this critical discipline through their experience in our elementary school. Mathematics, a critical skill for success in many careers in our technological society, receives a high priority during these years. Students are given a solid foundation in mathematical skills, preparing them for advanced mathematical studies in our junior high and high school. In addition to receiving a top notch education in these critical foundational skills, students will enjoy basic instruction in computers, art, music, physical education, and band.
You will find that our campus provides a safe, well equipped, properly monitored playground for student activity. The New Hope Campus is equipped with a spacious gymnasium for numerous activities. Students also enjoy field trips that enhance their learning.
