A Message from the Principal & Founder
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,
Welcome to First Stone Elementary Christian School. We are honored that you have chosen us to be your partners in your child’s education journey. We believe that a school should be more than just a building; it should be a “Sanctuary for Learning.” Our mission is to provide a vibrant, supportive, and Christ-centered environment where every child feels safe to explore, innovate, and grow.
We have designed our school around Three Pillars of Success:
Academic Excellence: Utilizing the world-class Abeka curriculum integrated with the Belize National Framework to ensure a 75% mastery standard.
Character Foundation: Cultivating “servant-leaders” who lead with wisdom and integrity through restorative practices.
Digital Innovation: Equipping our students with 21st-century skills through visual pedagogy and digital literacy.
This handbook is designed to provide you with a clear roadmap of our policies, expectations, and the standards that make our community unique. We encourage you to read it carefully, as it outlines our shared commitment to your child’s holistic development.
We look forward to a year of discovery, growth, and academic achievement. Thank you for being a vital part of the First Stone family.
With Wisdom and Integrity,
