Philosophy

Our number one goal at Forest Hill Academy is to build a solid foundation where every child will learn how to grow into dynamic life in Christ. We do this by caring for the whole child spiritually, academically, emotionally, socially, and physically. In doing so we strive to provide our families with a Christian education that ignites a desire to grow.

SPIRITUALLY

Spiritually we aim to instill a knowledge and love for Christ. We partner with the church and use the orange curriculum to teach our children that God made them, God loves them and Jesus wants to be their friend forever.

ACADEMICLLY

Our Curriculum is faith, theme, and skill-based aimed to meet age-appropriate milestones. Our little ones are introduced to new experiences and healthy challenges that strengthen cognitive and creative abilities giving our children the academic stimulation needed to excel.

EMOTIONALLY

Emotionally we aim to support our children by teaching them how to manage and regulate their emotions. We teach them by showing our little ones love, Empathy, acknowledging their feelings, establishing daily routines, and providing them with options, limits, and expectations.

SOCIALLY

Through play-based, hands-on group learning our children learn to build confidence, problem solve, take turns, share, build relationships, develop critical thinking skills, and build leadership skills. When children play together they learn together.

PHYSICALLY

Physically we foster healthy growth by integrating movement into daily routines and planned activities. We incorporate both open-ended and teacher-initiated opportunities to challenge our little ones with developmentally appropriate fine and gross motor skills.
