Welcome to an exciting year of growth and transition in second grade! At Downers Grove Christian School, we’re dedicated to fostering a classroom environment filled with love, acceptance, and mutual respect. Here, your child will explore new subjects, develop problem-solving skills, and grow both academically and spiritually in a supportive, Christ-centered setting.

Nurturing Responsibility and Problem-Solving

In second grade, we focus on helping students take responsibility for their work and actions, encouraging them to grow as independent thinkers. Through our math and science studies, we delve into the wonders of the world, celebrating God as the ultimate creator and sustainer. Our goal is for students to develop a strong foundation in personal responsibility, setting them on a path toward confident, thoughtful decision-making.

Faith-Filled Learning and Enrichment Opportunities

Beyond core academics, second graders experience a variety of enriching activities each week, including Music, Physical Education, Art, and Computers. Every lesson is woven with faith, helping students cultivate a personal relationship with God as they navigate both their academic and emotional growth.

Exciting Projects and Hands-On Learning

To bring their learning to life, second graders dive into engaging projects like caring for a Classroom Pet, researching inspiring figures in a Christian Biography study, and exploring creativity and innovation through the Invention Convention. These projects are designed to foster a sense of accomplishment, curiosity, and joy in learning.
