Elementary School Program

Located just north of Cincinnati, our elementary school offers a unique blend of academic excellence, innovative teaching methods, and a nurturing environment, making us a sought-after choice for private elementary schools in Cincinnati. Discover how our dedicated faculty and comprehensive curriculum cater to the diverse needs of young learners, setting them on a path to success.

Bethany prepares students for their journey to be curious about the world around them and eager to learn and discover. Our dedicated teachers foster that curiosity and love for learning as students become more independent, confident, and creative thinkers in a learning environment that works for them.

Kindergarten

Bethany School’s private school kindergarten offers a joyful, hands-on learning environment where young children begin building the skills they need for lifelong success. Our youngest learners engage in activities that teach them to follow directions, collaborate with peers, and explore the world through all five senses.

The curriculum is carefully designed to support early literacy, problem-solving, and critical thinking in age-appropriate ways. Social-emotional development is nurtured daily—especially through our signature eighth-grade “buddy” program, where older students mentor and support their kindergarten partners, fostering confidence, kindness, and a sense of belonging.

First Grade

With activities like “how-to” projects, letter and book writing, and hands-on science projects, our first grade students are encouraged not only to discover, but to use critical thinking skills to explain what their discoveries mean. Through a curriculum that introduces mathematics and more complex science and language arts concepts, students become more confident in their own ability to acquire knowledge and discover new things.

Second Grade

By second grade, students are becoming independent learners and thinkers. They learn to independently manage their homework and other daily activities, which builds self-confidence and a sense of personal responsibility, and helps prepare them for their transition to middle school.

Learning Through Doing

Field trips are an important part of the academic experience at Bethany School. Our elementary school students participate in a variety of educational field trips and outreach programs every year to connect real-world, hands-on experiences to what they’re learning in the classroom.
