K3 – K4
Preschool
In our preschool program, where innate curiosity thrives, our teachers capitalize on this eagerness to learn. As students embark on the journey of acquiring fundamental skills and developing an understanding of language, math, science, and creative arts, our teachers consistently direct our youngest learner’s attention back to the Creator. This approach ensures that the educational foundation we provide is centered on Christ, creating a learning environment that encompasses both academic growth and spiritual development.
K5
Kindergarten
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 North East Park Campus, experienced teachers with a Christ-centered worldview work together with parents to build this firm foundation for learning.
Our Commitment
Our Commitment
We are committed to creating a classroom atmosphere in which children feel secure, safe and loved; one that focuses on spiritual growth and whose goal it is to provide the highest quality of education possible. After all, the Bible tells us in Psalm 127 that “children are a heritage from the Lord, a reward from Him.” We feel it is a great honor to have you and your children as part of our Indian Rocks Christian School family.
Enriched Learning
Our Preschool program is play-based, which means students learn through activities that feel like fun and games. This promotes academic growth and allows for a more enriching social experience as students work together as teammates and problem solvers.
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 Preschool and 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.
