students' world. The Old Testament sessions focus on the concepts of covenant,
prophecy, psalms, and wisdom. The New Testament sessions focus on Jesus' life
and ministry through miracles, parables, and the coming of God's kingdom. The
Sacrament units examine the relationship of living out the gospel and creeds.
Finally, The Church history refers to the figures, events, and traditions of the
Church both throughout history and today.
Fifth Grade

chapel services are rooted in the Episcopal faith. As part of the curriculum,
the students are introduced to Christian Values, as well as the Sacred Stories
of the Bible through a variety of activities. Emphasis on how God wants us to
treat each other with kindness, love, and respect, is a recurring theme
throughout the year. The whole school attends chapel services twice a week.
