GENERAL INFORMATION
Our school offers an education for four-year-old through twelfth grade students that is Bible-centered.
We emphasize the development of Christian character by teaching proper respect for authority as it relates to God, parents, government, and school.
Our curriculum is based on God's Word and teaches young people how to live.
Our students have traditionally scored above national averages on standardized achievement tests.
Classrooms typically have fewer students than the public school, which allows more opportunities for individual attention.
Below is a brief summary of the different levels of instruction that Granite Offers.
HALF-DAY KINDERGARTENS
Kindergarten classes meet five mornings per week from 8:15 - 11:50. Our K4 programs include Bible, number and letter recognition,
phonics, arithmetic, crafts and directed play. The K-5 curriculum is an advanced approach toward first grade readiness.
While fluent reading is not our first priority, many students are reading very well by the end of the year. Basic math principles,
elements of grammar, science, and social studies are included.
ALL-DAY KINDERGARTENS
Full-day kindergarten students stay for lunch, rest and directed play until 3:00.
BEFORE AND AFTERCARE
Our morning watch program begins at 7:00 for those needing supervision prior to the start of the school day.
There is no fee for morning watch. Our aftercare program is from 3:15 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. for K4 - 6th grade students,
and from 3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. for Secondary students (7th-12th). Refer to the Aftercare sign-up form for fee specifics.
ELEMENTARY - GRADES 1-6
Our elementary curriculum follows the basic scope and sequence typical of secular instruction; however,
ours is Bible-centered with a comprehensive phonics approach to reading and a math program that balances traditional and modern math.
Music offerings, art instruction, and fine arts competition enhance the educational experience.
JUNIOR HIGH - GRADES 7-8
Granite Baptist Junior High School (grades 7-8) follows the regular curriculum for these levels.
The Biblical emphasis and example of the faculty augment a strong academic program.
We offer security to young people at a time in their lives when they may feel conflict between following the world and following the Lord.
Our teachers are concerned beyond the routine academics of the classroom. We care for the spiritual well-being of each student.
HIGH SCHOOL - GRADES 9-12
Our high school is taught separately from the junior high for the purpose of accumulating graduation credits.
We offer core subjects, higher level math and science courses, keyboarding, computer science, accounting, and foreign language.
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Yearbook, piano/instrumental music lessons, band, choir, hand chimes, orchestra,
and drama along with opportunity to compete in Fine Arts are available for Fine Arts enrichment.
Our athletic program includes soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball and cheerleading.
