Academic Excellence
Hosanna Christian School is committed to maintaining high academic standards across all educational disciplines while integrating a strong Christian worldview into every aspect of learning. We utilize the Abeka curriculum, supplemented with additional resources to provide a well-rounded education.
Our students consistently perform well above state and national averages on scholastic testing. While academic excellence is a priority, we also place strong emphasis on citizenship and the development of Christ-centered character.
Classes are taught in a traditional classroom setting with 12–18 students per class, allowing teachers to provide meaningful personal attention to each student. In addition to classroom instruction, students benefit from physical education, field trips, and enrichment activities that enhance and broaden their educational experience.

Pre-K and Kindergarten
Our Pre-K (4-year-olds) and Kindergarten program provides a nurturing, Christ-centered environment where children grow in good behavior, responsibility, and early academic readiness. We focus on building a strong foundation for lifelong learning and success in elementary education.
Using the Abeka curriculum, students are introduced to:
Bible
Letters, phonics, reading, and spelling
Numbers and early math skills
Cursive writing
Science and social studies
Learning is enriched through health, art, and hands-on activities that make concepts engaging and memorable.
Our Pre-K program is offered 5 full days a week, providing consistency and structure for young learners.
With small class sizes (typically 10 students or fewer), teachers are able to give each child meaningful individual attention. Students also enjoy interactive learning experiences, classroom enrichment, and occasional field trips that bring learning to life.
