Kindergarten and Bridge

Students who turn five by October 1st are eligible for Kindergarten and Bridge classes.

The Evangel kindergarten classroom provides a secure and encouraging environment where children can grow academically, socially, and spiritually. We celebrate each child’s unique gifts as we faithfully shepherd their hearts toward the good, true, and beautiful. 

Kindergarten is a special year at Evangel. Marked by numerous special traditions and beloved events, Kindergarten promotes a love for learning, a love for school, and mostly, a love for the Lord. Evangel kindergarten students learn over 50 Bible verses throughout the school year, which serves a dual purpose of hiding God’s word in their hearts while also cultivating the memorization skills that will be required to thrive in the grammar stage of the Elementary school. 

A Kindergarten Bridge program was added in the fall of 2024. This class is specifically designed for students who may benefit from the “gift of time” to allow them an extra year to continue to mature academically and socially. Upon completion of their Kindergarten Bridge year, some students will continue on to Kindergarten and some will move on to 1st grade. Our Bridge class strikes a balance between the hands-on center based learning of Pre-K and the more academically challenging structure of Kindergarten. Teacher recommendations help parents determine if the Bridge program is a good fit for their children. 

Options for three or five day programs for both the Kindergarten and the Bridge classes allows families to choose a path that will best serve their children. Both programs allow for individualized attention through one-on-one time with teachers and small group opportunities based on academic needs. Age-appropriate time management skills promote independence and prepare students for a successful 1st grade year. 

Our Evangel Kindergarten and Bridge programs are nurturing experiences marked by personalized instruction, habit formation, and character development. Fostering a love for learning and training the affections toward the things of the Lord serves our students as they move through the Elementary grammar stage.

“The Evangel teachers and staff genuinely embody Christ’s love in both their character and teaching. The close-knit community fosters an incredible support system of adults who hold our beliefs, which we deeply desire as a cornerstone of raising our children. We’ve found the classical model of education—though new to us—to be exceptional in nurturing our children into adulthood.”
