Elementary (K-6)
Our elementary school academic programs encourage high achievement within a challenging, disciplined, and caring environment. These programs place emphasis on mastery and application of basic learning skills. Each subject is taught from a Christian perspective with special times set aside for Bible instruction and Chapel. Elementary offers many additional activities to educate the whole child such as music, art, Spanish, physical education, computer, and library skills.
Meet our Elementary Principal
Hello! My name is Angela Alday, but the children affectionately call me Miss Angie. With God’s calling and equipping, I became an early childhood educator in the fall of 1990. I have been thoroughly blessed by hundreds of children and their families over the years. My family has been a part of the Desert Christian family since 2001 and my two beautiful children are both Desert Christian grads.
We believe that not only our curriculum be integrated with God’s Word and principles, but that our methods and personal interactions must also be reflective of these principles. Everything we do has this as its basis and emphasis. Your child will have the opportunity to learn through exploration in an imaginative, wonder-filled environment where they are encouraged to investigate the world around them. A spiritual emphasis on understanding who God is permeates through all activities.
You will also find that partnering with families is a foundational concept for Desert Christian Schools. We desire to make an environment that is an extension of the home which honors Christ and the children He created. Desert Christian Schools offer each child a place to feel loved, nurtured, and secure while developing personally and uniquely.
I look forward to partnering with you in “bringing up your child in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:4)
For Him,
Angela Alday | Elementary Principal and Preschool Director
