Educational Model

Theophany School's educational model of thematic curriculum, small class sizes, and faith-based teaching, creates many opportunities for students to shine. By utilizing multi-sensory, cross curricular learning startegies, our students are better able to access and connect with information through their various modes of intelligence. This empowers them to see realationships and explore their world in a deeper way.

Curriculum

The curriculum is based upon thematic units that are geared to the developmental needs of our students and touch upon meaningful and relevant issues in our young student’s lives. 

The students at Theophany are focusing on the following unique themes every month during the 2012-2013 school year:

• September: Heroes Help Us
• October: Hay is for Horses
• November: Breaking Bread
• December: O' Christmas Tree
• January: Commotion in the Ocean
• February: Quilting
• March: Author Study-Ezra Jack Keats
• April: Bee Attitudes
• May: Night Time...Knight Time?
• June: Silly School

Art is also an important component of the curriculum and is woven into lessons with the works of a different artist studied each month.

*Our Curriculum and Themes are created based on the needs and interest of our students and may be updated or changed as deemed necessary by our staff.
