Elementary Division

Students ages 5 to 11 who enroll in Deerstream’s CORE classes are part of our Elementary Division.

Students should be 5 years old by August 31 to enter our Elementary Division.

Hands-on History:  On Monday mornings OR Tuesday Afternoons, our elementary students have the opportunity to experience Hands-on History.  History, culture, and geography will come alive as students engage in activities and projects incorporating art, music, dramatizations, literature, Scripture, and mapwork, too!

Science:  Offered on Wednesday and Thursday mornings (a student can choose one), Elementary Division science classes are built around a thoughtfully sequenced science curriculum with a rich sampling of Life, Earth, and Physical science topics. Our approach to learning is both hands-on and interdisciplinary. Science is examined and taught through a range of activities and projects featuring art, music, poetry, nature studies, Scripture, and literature―all of which reinforce key scientific concepts.

Writing:  On Monday and Thursday mornings (a student can choose one), we offer an Elementary Division Writing class for 9-11-year-olds.  In this lively and interactive course, students will engage in the writing process with their peers.  They’ll strengthen their writing mechanics, learn some helpful organizational strategies, and become good editors.  Through writing creative and nonfiction pieces, students will practice expressing their ideas with confidence through writing.

Each Deerstream Elementary session includes a recess and snack time.
