The Tipton Rosemark elementary program is based on the belief that a strong academic foundation enables children to enter a quality secondary school and to be properly prepared to achieve at the highest levels in a college preparatory school. The TRA elementary program emphasizes a balanced curriculum that includes classroom instruction in language arts, reading, mathematics, science and social studies based on Biblical principles, Bible, art, music, and physical education. We believe learning should be interesting, challenging, and timely in preparing our children for the world of tomorrow. Students' minds are challenged beyond the basic curriculum through classroom activities and special projects that develop divergent thinking and problem solving skills. Computer assisted instruction allows students to utilize software designed to reinforce their knowledge and skills in many subject areas. The curriculum is designed to provide all children with the maximum in educational opportunities to enhance both academic and social development and to strengthen the character qualities of responsibility and accountability.

The idea that each child should develop confidence is a belief that is held by all faculty and staff, and it is believed that a close student-teacher relationship is the first step towards a positive self-concept. We strive to assist each student with individual attention where teachers can build on a caring, trusting relationship and create an environment where exceptional academic and life skills can mature. Teachers utilize small and large group instruction to meet the various needs and readiness levels of each student in the class.

The elementary grades are housed in a modern facility, which features self-contained classrooms that are designed to meet the needs of a challenging curriculum and provide ample space for a healthy learning environment. Each grade consists of two or three classes with availability in each determined by the grade level.
