Big House Christian Academy’s Kindergarten program is a half-day option designed to provide a strong academic foundation in a warm, Christ-centered environment—while keeping the schedule family-friendly and aligned with ESA coverage.
A strong start—academically and spiritually.
In Kindergarten, students build foundational skills in reading, phonics, handwriting, math, and social development. We keep class sizes small and instruction highly supportive, so students feel confident, capable, and excited to learn.
Christ-centered character formation.
We intentionally teach kindness, responsibility, respect, and self-control through daily routines, Bible-based lessons, and positive classroom culture.
