Kindergarten through Fifth Grade
Regular assemblies are a tradition at Viewpoint, and represent an integral part of the curriculum in Primary and Lower School. This time of coming together and sharing not only reinforces the idea that students belong to a community in which they should take pride, but also it offers opportunities for students to practice their public speaking and performing skills.
In Primary and Lower School, a different class is responsible for hosting and performing at each event. Traditions include the Pledge of Allegiance, patriotic song, the alma mater, and nondenominational prayer, as well as remarks from the Divisional Head and Headmaster. In addition, classes responsible for hosting and contributing prepare with their teachers to share their classroom experiences through skits, songs, dances, poetry, or inspirational readings, all incorporated within the theme of each particular assembly.
Children quickly become comfortable speaking and making presentations to an audience of their peers, teachers, and parents. Their fellow students as spectators learn the value of what it means to be an engaged audience, to listen politely to the performance, and to show appreciation for the performers’ hard work and preparation. As a sign of respect for this important regular community event, students wear more formal assembly-dress uniforms.
