Exploring the Top Private High Schools in Northern VA


Fairfax Christian’s Lower School enrolls students from pre-kindergarten through fourth grade. These are the most formative years in a child’s life, and the lower school takes pride in offering a mastery approach to learning. Children advance quickly in a safe, wholesome, joyful and nurturing environment with a friendly approach to structure and discipline.

Our curriculum is age-appropriate, and children build skills in critical thinking, reasoning, research, and communication. With strong academic, moral and social values, the Fairfax Christian School creates a foundation that will last a lifetime.

Lower school students learn to read with phonics, a systematic approach to the English language. Based on the McGuffey Readers, our phonics curriculum has been used in private schools and by homeschooling families nationwide. 

Mathematical concepts begin with spatial and logical learning. Students learn to visualize numbers, count, begin factors, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Students are also introduced to concepts such as counting money and telling time. 

Science is an investigative, hands-on subject in our lower school. Studies include zoology, physics, earth science, astronomy and oceanography, introduction to computers, health and much more. 

Bible and History come alive with stories and hands-on projects. Students are introduced to the Old and New Testament through storytelling, using traditional Bible stories.
