Academics and Programs – Curriculum – 1st and 2nd grades

The Beaches Episcopal School first and second grade programs provide a wholesome environment for learning by providing a variety of experiences to develop the whole child. Through an integrated, hands-on curriculum including a commitment to enrichment programs, students are encouraged to develop inquisitive, creative minds and a joy of learning.

Enrichment programs are a vital part of the curriculum at Beaches Episcopal School. Art, Movement, Music, Library, Integrated Technology, Computer, Spanish, Character Education and Christian Education provide avenues for self-expression and enhanced learning. Students actively participate in chapel services twice weekly and share classroom prayers.

Opportunities are provided to allow students to develop responsibility and leadership skills. Integrated Technology (IT) is taught to supplement the work done in the classroom, and Beaches Episcopal School is one of the few Jacksonville elementary schools to have SMARTBoards in all second grade classrooms.
