Jones Center: Each day starts with a morning meeting which includes a focus on calendar work. Students engage in center activities to promote independence as they learn through play. (All shared materials will be properly sanitized before a new student uses them.) Students also experience lessons delivering pre-literacy and pre-numeracy skills, Greek, music, and religion. Enrichment teachers will deliver lessons in the cohort classroom. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is taught weekly and reinforced daily. Time is available each day for recess, the development of gross motor skills (PE), and for a rest time.

Middle school: The daily schedule for on-campus learning allows students to see all their core and enrichment teachers each day. Students in 5th-7th grade will have their five core classes - English Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science, and Spanish (6-8th) or composition (5th), and they will have two enrichment classes daily. In 8th grade, students will have the same core classes, one enrichment class, and a high school advising period. Each class will be 40 minutes long, and only the teachers will move from class to class. Each day from 9:30-10:00 AM there is a community time block that will include advisory, Second Step, religion, chapel, and Agape. Lunch is also a 40-minute period so that eating and time outside can be accommodated.
