Elementary School

PREK - 5TH Grade

By Paula Potter, Third Grade Teacher and Elementary Lead Teacher

Intermountain Christian School believes teaching is rooted in the understanding that all students are created in God’s image and are uniquely gifted. In my 25+ years of teaching at ICS I have seen instruction that is engaging and differentiated in a way that challenges and enables all students to succeed, no matter the age. Elementary classroom environments are structured so that all students discover and engage with truth in various academic disciplines, all through the lens of Scripture. ICS believes learning is not just academic and happens best when students engage in what they are learning, build on prior knowledge, and enjoy the learning process while in relationship with teachers and peers.

ICS meets, and often exceeds, the Utah Core Standards for academics by using:

• Bible

• Math

• Science

• Language Arts

• Social Studies

Specials

We believe in building well-rounded and highly-engaged students. This not only develops better learners but also creates strong relationships among students.

We also offer art classes (1st-5th), Spanish classes (beginning in kindergarten), music class, library, and we integrate technology throughout the students’ learning experience.

Christ-centered Learning Environment

At ICS, our Christian worldview is evident in every aspect of our curriculum and extracurricular activities. In addition, through service projects and weekly chapel, students are spiritually supported and encouraged to be leaders in Christ, making a positive impact no matter their age or stage.

Chapel is also an integral part of campus life for each student at Intermountain Christian School. Chapel speakers are varied and topics covered are inspirational, challenging, and uplifting. Through chapel, small groups, class prayer, and more our students are inspired, mentored, and encouraged!
