Elementary Education at CTK

In grades 1–5, students are challenged academically while growing in their faith. Our well-rounded curriculum includes math, reading, grammar, spelling, science, social studies, and religion.


Beyond the classroom core subjects, students also participate in weekly classes in art, music, Spanish, physical education, and computer technology.


Service and leadership are an important part of the student experience. All students participate in a variety of service projects that support organizations throughout the Downriver community, as well as several of our own in-house ministries, helping them develop servant-leadership skills that last a lifetime.
