Elementary
Kindergarten through Fifth Grade
During the early formative years, making learning meaningful is the cornerstone for stimulating young minds and fostering confidence. Indian Rocks’ elementary school differs from other private Christian elementary schools in that our elementary school program is designed to give students both the academic underpinnings they’ll need for college (and beyond) with a spiritual footing that will give true meaning to everything they learn. Here at our campus in Pinellas County, experienced teachers with a Christ-centered worldview work together with parents to build this firm foundation for learning.
Embracing unique learning styles to maximize potential
Our comprehensive elementary school curriculum is combined with hands-on learning activities that reflect that God is the source of all knowledge, truth and understanding. Our elementary school program is unique from the curriculum of many private Christian elementary schools in Pinellas County, Florida. Reading, spelling, math, language, science, social studies and Bible make up the building blocks to our program. Special instruction in computers, art, music, Spanish, library skills and physical education rounds out our curriculum.
But at IRCS we go a step further. We strive to help pupils develop a consistent Christian philosophy of life by integrating all subjects with the Bible.
What Our Parents Say
“Choosing IRCS for our children has been the very best decision we have made towards their education. Our children have experienced a number of Christian schools throughout the state of Florida, and we have to say that IRCS has out-shined them all!!!! We have been so happy and felt so welcomed, and the kids have adjusted so easily and so quickly here at IRCS!” -Karen, IRCS Parent
Building a strong foundation for your child’s learning journey
Our Elementary Classes
Limited elementary school class size allows for each child to grow and reach their potential as passionate teachers strive to develop student’s individual gifts and abilities. Students are encouraged to connect the classroom to real life experiences, by participating in a variety of curriculum-related and community outreach field trips.
As an example, fifth graders in our elementary school journey through time on an overnight trip to historic St. Augustine, develop life skills as they prepare for a hands-on commerce and trade trip to Enterprise Village, and participate in a holiday community outreach. Creative opportunities like these foster a deeper understanding of life-long learning and a biblical world and life view.
Enriched Learning
The Bible teaches us in Psalm 127 that “children are a heritage from the Lord, a reward from Him.” It would be a great honor to have you and your children as part of the Indian Rocks Christian School community here in Pinellas County.
Technology
Today’s students are digital natives, but we emphasize collaborative, face-to-face learning over screen time in Kindergarten. Our classrooms are filled with hands-on learning centers, and technology is used intentionally and only when truly beneficial.
Safe Environment
Parents deserve to feel peace of mind when they drop their Kindergartners off at school. We take safety seriously by securing our campus with locked doors, conducting background checks on all staff, ensuring all visitors are properly checked in at the front desk, and maintaining a safe and secure pick-up process at the end of the day.
