The Primary School offers a Christian environment in which your child may grow in self-esteem and knowledge. Each child is viewed as a unique individual that has a personal pattern of timing for growth and development.

The focus of the Primary School is to expedite the development of the whole child by giving him or her the opportunity to acquire, apply, adapt, integrate, and evaluate knowledge as they construct new or expanded concepts. Varied learning opportunities assist children to develop socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. Holy Spirit Episcopal School strives to help young children become independent, self-reliant, and life-long learners.

Students in Primary 3, Primary 4 and Bridge participate in musical performances and play on an age-appropriate playground that acts as an extension of the classroom. Attending Chapel is part of their weekly schedule, with Christianity taught as the basis for their choices.

 

Primary School Bridge

Primary School is excited to introduce a dynamic Bridge program designed for students with summer birthdays that have completed Primary 4 but are not yet ready for Kindergarten.

The program incorporates all the main subject areas in a project-focused learning environment, allowing students to utilize their existing academic and social skills while simultaneously providing authentic and interesting ways to further develop their abilities.

This seamlessly complements the play-based learning that starts in Early Childhood and continues through Middle School. Higher level math, language, critical thinking, creativity, communication, independence, and social skills are embedded into the very practice of project work. This program helps students with cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual development as they prepare for Kindergarten.

If your child has been assigned to the Bridge program and would like to further review or if you think your child can benefit from this step before transitioning to Kindergarten, please contact the Office of Admissions.
