First Methodist School Makes Summer Learning Fun!

Our students are keeping their math and reading skills sharp while they learn about the solar system. The exiting kindergarten class loves to practice graphing using their planet cubes!

There are a limited number of spots available for Summer Fun and we are currently enrolling for the 2017-2018 school year. If you know a family with young children, please tell them about our school so they can learn and grow with us!
