Rockford Lutheran Pre-Elementary

The Pre-Elementary program at Rockford Lutheran Academy addresses the needs of the whole child by correlating activities in Religion, Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, Art, Music, Drama, Computers, Spanish, and Physical Education.  Through these programs, students are prepared for the academic and social expectations of school life.  They learn honesty, fairness and the art of sharing.  They learn to reason and to solve problems.
