Special Programs

Faith Primary School offers several special programs and field trips throughout the year. Some of these include:

The Math Heads Club. This math club meets regularly for gifted or highly motivated math students at Faith Primary School. Students are coached by classroom teachers and parent volunteers who help them explore the wonderful world of mathematics. They enjoy playing games together as well as independently in the computer lab and online at home. All Math Heads work together to accumulate points as a team. Students can earn rewards when the team reaches pre-determined levels.

First in Math. All students at Faith Primary School have access to First In Math, an online web site that enables them to build their mathematics skills, working from one level of difficulty to the next. The students focus on scoring points together for all the First In Math participants at the School.

Great Artists. Our art instructor introduces students in the second through fourth grades to famous artists of different periods and styles. The students are given a brief biographical sketch of the artist and then instructed on using media or techniques similar to those used by the artist being studied. In this way, the students are able to gain an understanding of the style of the artists. During the three years that the students study the Great Artists, they can be introduced to over 40 different famous artists, whose works range from frescos to mobiles to "found art".

Art Program. Students have one day each week of special Art projects and instruction. At the end of each School year, all student artwork is specially displayed for parents, families, and the members of the Blue Ridge Chapel Church community. During the entire School year, various arts of many media types are constantly on display in the hallways, dressing up and adding life to the school.
