Welcome to the Elementary Campus of
Gaston Christian School
Our elementary program builds upon the strong
Biblical and academic foundation of our pre-school and kindergarten. The elementary program uses a blend of Abeka,
Bob Jones, and Purposeful Design curriculum.
Scott Foresman Reading Street and Sadlier-Oxford Vocabulary Workshop are
used in 5th grade. Students
also have a weekly rotation of Fine Arts, computer skills, library, and
physical education.
From “See You At The Pole” in September to National Day of Prayer in May, our students quickly learn about the power of prayer and it’s importance in our everyday lives. We have a group of dedicated parents that meet on campus every Thursday morning to lift up our school, our students and their families, our faculty and our administration, our community, our nation and our leaders. Elementary students also attend Chapel for a time of worship
and continued teaching from the Bible and also have opportunities to lead worship in our Chapel times.
Elementary students are able to participate in competitions through ACSI Math Olympics
(grades 3-5)Gaston County Spelling Bee (grades 4-5), and Battle of the Books (Grades 4-5). There are also enrichment activities such as
Girls on the Run (girls in grades 3-5), 5th Grade Band, Lego League, and Science Quest. Students in grades 1-5 are also able to
participate in our Jr. Eagles Athletic program in soccer, basketball,
cheerleading, t-ball, and coach pitch.
Technology is one of our focuses as we work to engage the 21st century learner. We have recently added two Net Book labs for teachers to take into their classrooms. Several of our classrooms have interactive whiteboards installed for the students to utilize in addition to several mobile interactive whiteboards in our building.
Our spiritual emphasis for this school year is “The Preeminence of Christ." Our desire is that Christ is glorified through all that we do at GCS. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things and in Him all things hold together. He is also head of the body, the church; and he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He himself will come to have first place in everything. Colossians 1:15-18
