Art

Students are exposed to introductory art concepts along with techniques and tools. The focus is on building fine motor skills through repetition while creating excitement and interest in arts and crafts. Art lessons are multi-cultural and are inspired from art around the world.
Foreign Language

Spanish is taught in an engaging manner by using comprehensible input, much the way a baby learns their first language. This is done by using repetition through stories, songs, short films, slides, exposure to grammar, and games. Students will be introduced to the culture of Spanish speaking countries. This will enrich their awareness and appreciation of world languages and other cultures.
Media/Technology

Kindergarten – Grade 2
Students in kindergarten through second grade do not take a formal, graded computer class. Instead, computers are a resource, used at the discretion of the teacher.

Grades 3-5
Students in third through fifth grade meet for a scheduled computer class weekly. Technology comes into play more as a classroom support.
Music

Kindergarten – Grade 2
Students learn rhythmic principles such as melodic patterns and pitch. Students will also learn how to imitate those principles back on percussion instruments and be introduced to the standard notation symbols (quarter notes, rests, treble clef, etc.). Through the study of rhythmic principles and standard notation, the students are also introduced to many different genres of music that will be applied in later grades.

Grades 3-5
Students take the knowledge of standard notation that they learned in their earlier elementary classes and learn to understand and read those notes. They apply that knowledge by learning how to play instruments such as the recorder and the guitar. They are also introduced to the skills and terminology needed to evaluate music and musical performances.
Physical Education

The Physical Education curriculum is designed to instruct the student in basic motor skills, development of coordination and perception, organized game playing, teamwork, nutrition concepts, and fitness. Physical Education provides a venue for teaching godly character: working as a member of a team, encouraging others, being a good sport and doing one’s best to the glory of God

Start a Conversation

At the heart of our academics is the belief that each student has strengths and passions that need to be nurtured in order to know and do God’s call upon his/her life. And so, our teachers use our academic program to provide unique and cross-curricular experiences.

A Faith Filled Foundation

The elementary years shape how children see learning—and themselves. This is when confidence forms, habits develop, and foundations are built.

At Delmarva Christian, we intentionally guide students through these years with strong academic foundations, developmentally appropriate learning, and consistent encouragement and care.

Faith isn’t an add-on—it’s woven into everyday learning.

Students are guided to understand God’s love for them, develop character and kindness, and begin forming a biblical worldview

This is where faith begins to take root personally.

Delmarva Christian’s curriculum doesn’t just prepare students for the next grade, it prepares them for lifelong learning and thoughtful living. With strong instruction, faith continuously integrated, and rich opportunities, students are equipped to thrive spiritually, academicaly and physically.
