Elementary

Risen Savior has been adding one grade per year and serves children from Kindergarten through 5th Grade. The school is built on exceeding Arizona Standards, but even more importantly, we are centered on Jesus Christ. Students grow in their faith in daily Religion Class and weekly Chapel. They pray throughout the day – at the beginning, before lunch and at the end of the day. They participate in service projects so they learn how to put their faith into action. They also plan worship services at various times throughout the year that can be either for the school or for the community.

The school colors are blue and gold and the school mascot is the eagle, based on Isaiah 40:31,

But those who hope in the LORD

will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles.

All Day Kindergarten provides a five-day a week program. The All Day Kindergarten meets daily for six hours. The Kindergarten curriculum covers learning in all areas of development-social, emotional, physical, intellectual, language and aesthetic. All areas of the Kindergarten curriculum will be integrated into the learning environment with a focus on Arizona Academic Standards. For example, writing, reading, math, science, social studies, physical education, art and music are integrated through themes, projects, and self-selected activities. Hands-on experiences are the main vehicle of instruction with a focus on each child’s individuality.

Elementary Grades also meet five days per week for 6 1/2 hours per day. The curriculum meets Arizona’s academic standards in a developmentally appropriate environment that focuses on the ability of individual children. Small class sizes and individualized attention spur the growth and development of children through cooperative learning. While most schools focus on linguistic and mathematical-intelligences, Risen Savior focuses on the theory of multiple intelligences that accounts for a broader range of human potential than traditional models. By focusing on spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalist intelligences, in additional to linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence, we continue to focus on the whole child.
