Academics at Growing Minds
Real Learning. Deep Roots. Purposeful Growth.
At Growing Minds Preschool & Academy, academics are not separate from character, creativity, or faith—they are woven together into every lesson, every project, and every moment of the school day.
From our youngest learners at 6 weeks to our Middle School leaders in 8th grade, students are nurtured through a whole-child, faith-centered, and hands-on approach that prepares them for a life of purpose, confidence, and curiosity.
Our Approach to Learning
We believe every child is uniquely created by God, with distinct gifts, questions, and learning styles. That’s why our academic model blends:
- The BJU Press curriculum (rigorous, Biblically integrated core subjects)
- Reggio Emilia-inspired environments that celebrate exploration and beauty
- Project-based, cross-curricular learning that makes knowledge meaningful
- Small group instruction tailored to each child’s needs and strengths
Students aren’t just memorizing facts—they’re building connections, solving real-world problems, and learning how to think deeply and critically from a Biblical worldview.
A Whole-Child Education
At Growing Minds, we educate the whole child—academically, spiritually, socially, emotionally, and creatively. Our classrooms are places of safety, wonder, and connection.
Every day, students experience:
- Personalized attention in small classes
- Close relationships with nurturing educators
- Opportunities for expression through art, movement, music, and storytelling
- A rhythm of learning that supports both structure and freedom
This is not a one-size-fits-all education. It’s a journey of discovery where every child is encouraged to grow into who God created them to be.
What Makes Us Different
We’re not a traditional private school in disguise. Growing Minds is a modern Christian school designed for today’s learners and tomorrow’s leaders. Here’s what sets our academic experience apart:
- Personalized instruction that meets students where they are
- Project-based learning that makes content relevant and engaging
- Daily faith integration across all subjects
- Fine and performing arts that develop creativity and confidence
- Outdoor classrooms and movement-based learning
- Hands-on, experiential activities at every grade level
- Teachers who serve as mentors, not just instructors
Our students don’t just “get through” school. They flourish—spiritually, academically, and personally.
Preparing Students for Life, Not Just the Next Grade
From early literacy to abstract thinking, from social skills to spiritual formation—everything we do is designed to prepare students for more than just a test.
By the time they complete their journey at Growing Minds, students are:
✓ Grounded in Biblical truth
✓ Confident in who they are
✓ Curious, creative, and capable learners
✓ Ready to lead and serve in the next season of their lives
We don’t measure success by grades alone. We look for growth, integrity, joy, and a clear sense of calling.

A Gentle Note to Parents
At Growing Minds, we recognize that learning is not one-size-fits-all. While we design our programs to guide students toward strong academic and personal growth, each child’s journey is uniquely shaped by their pace, strengths, and needs.
We are deeply committed to walking alongside every student with grace, encouragement, and intentional support—partnering with families to nurture a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.
