Elementary

A Christ-centered elementary school seeks to nurture the whole child by integrating biblical truths into every aspect of education. The focus is on spiritual formation, academic excellence, and character development, all through the lens of a Christian worldview. Students are encouraged to grow in their faith, develop a love for learning, and practice kindness and service.

Our Elementary Principles

  • Biblical Integration Across the Curriculum

    Every subject, from reading and writing to science and social studies, is infused with biblical truth. Teachers intentionally weave Scripture and Christian principles into lessons, helping students connect academic content with God's Word.

    A biblical worldview shapes how students understand the world, emphasizing that all knowledge is rooted in God’s truth, fostering a sense of wonder and gratitude for His creation.

  • Developmentally Appropriate Learning

    The elementary years are a time of significant intellectual, emotional, and social development. The school environment is designed to support this growth with age-appropriate teaching methods that engage students in active, hands-on learning.

    Recognizing each child as uniquely created by God, instruction is differentiated to meet individual learning needs, allowing students to thrive academically while developing confidence and a sense of belonging.

  • Spiritual Formation and Character Development

    Spiritual growth is central, with daily prayer, Bible lessons, and chapel services integrated into the rhythm of the school day. Students are taught foundational Christian values such as kindness, honesty, obedience, and love for others.

    Character education is prioritized, helping students develop Christlike attitudes and behaviors. Teachers model and encourage traits like humility, forgiveness, and service, guiding students toward a deep, personal faith.

  • Community and Social Growth

    A Christ-centered school creates a safe, nurturing environment where students are valued and loved. Social development is supported through opportunities for teamwork, friendship-building, and collaboration.

    Teachers encourage a sense of community within the classroom and the school as a whole, emphasizing respect, empathy, and the importance of serving others.

  • Service Opportunities

    Even at the elementary level, students are introduced to the concept of missions and service. Simple acts of kindness and local service projects help students understand their responsibility to love and serve others as Christ did.

    By participating in age-appropriate service activities, students begin to develop a heart for missions and learn the value of living out their faith through practical acts of service.

  • Nurturing the Whole Child

    The focus extends beyond academics to nurturing the emotional, social, and spiritual well-being of each student. Teachers act as role models and mentors, guiding students through the joys and challenges of early childhood with love and grace.

    Activities like art, music, and physical education are seen as important for holistic growth, allowing students to explore their God-given talents and interests while maintaining a balanced, joy-filled life.

  • Partnership with Families and the Church

    Education is viewed as a partnership between the school, families, and the local church. Parents are considered vital partners in their child’s education and spiritual development. The school works closely with parents to reinforce biblical principles and foster consistent spiritual growth.

    The local church also plays a significant role, providing support, encouragement, and spiritual nourishment through various programs and involvement.

  • Academic Excellence Through a Biblical Lens

    Students are encouraged to achieve their academic potential as an act of stewardship, understanding that their talents and abilities are gifts from God. The curriculum is designed to challenge students, fostering a love for learning and a commitment to excellence in all subjects.

    Critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving are emphasized, equipping students to approach academic challenges confidently and with curiosity, while maintaining a biblical perspective on knowledge and wisdom.

    • Our two youngest children began attending this fall. We have been so pleased with the transition. Teachers really care and helped identify learning issues. It’s been a good move for our family.

      FAITH is an academically challenging and spiritually uplifting school for kids of all ages. The families and staff that make up this community is outstanding. I highly recommend people of Wausau choosing FAITH to educate their kids.

      I graduated from faith and found myself very well prepared for college life. I’m still friends with several of the staff and teachers from FAITH and I am so thankful for the way they invested in my life when I was a teenager!
