Why Choose Rainer Foothills Academy
Our school provides children ages 5-8 with an exceptional progressive approach to their academic success. At Rainier Foothills Academy we believe in creating an environment in which students are encouraged to try their best to be their best. Students in our program thrive in small class sizes where they receive enhanced learning opportunities, more feedback to reach their individual potential and where students can share their ideas and have the courage to take new risks.
Kindergarten
In kindergarten, children spend time learning about themselves and their natural environment through a healthy balance of project based instruction and purposeful play. Students in kindergarten have more exploration with materials and learning the basic foundational skills for core academics.
1st Grade
In First Grade, students shift to a more structured learning environment. The curricular focus is on asking questions, exploring answers and thinking about oneself as a learner. Foundational aspects of literacy and math like phonemic awareness, letter recognition and formation, number sense and comparisons are introduced in kindergarten. The first grade program builds upon these foundations while focusing on the experiential and engaging components that make learning meaningful and fun.
2nd Grade
Students are continuing to blossom in their academic talents as well as social and emotional needs. Students look inward as they develop the skills of reading, writing, math, and begin to understand themselves as learners. Growth mindset is emphasized in the classroom, as students develop skills at their own pace. Our older students are ready to investigate how things work, challenge what they think they know, and learn there can be more than one right answer.
Diversity, Inclusion
We believe multiple perspectives grow our brains, deeping our experience of a situation, or our understanding of its solution. We want everyone who steps through our doors to have a sense of belonging and significance. Our school is a safe place to be your most authentic self.
We Are Inclusive
At Rainier Foothills Academy, we strive to create an environment in which each student, family and staff member voices are heard. We acknowledge and celebrate difference, uniqueness, and perspectives.
We Are Intentional
As adults, we lead through example,
listen with open hearts, reflect and grow.
