Elementary Teaching (Age 3 through Grade 6)
Do you have a passion for working with young children, starting them on the path to a lifetime of success?
Elementary school provides the foundation of a child's learning in all areas - academic, social and emotional. As an elementary school teacher, you will be prepared to shape the young minds of children from age 3 through grade 6.
At ACU, we give you opportunities to be in public and private classrooms for hands-on experience beginning in your first year. You also will have the opportunity for study abroad, service learning and other exciting programs to enhance your educational experience.
