Curriculum Overview
Pre-School
The Pre-School curriculum includes learning the alphabet, counting, health, manners, safety, science, Bible verses and songs. This is an age when attention is given to developmental skills.
Kindergarten
Kindergarten has a reading readiness curriculum which emphasizes listening skills, oral language development, strong phonetics, and social skills. Kindergarten students must be 5 years old by September 1.
Elementary
The elementary school curriculum includes a strong phonetic approach to language in the lower grades, with emphasis on reading and writing skills at every grade level. Mathematics follows a logical sequence of study with focus on problem-solving and critical thinking skills. History is "His" story - studying the past and present from a Biblical perspective. Science emphasizes creation and the basic building blocks of physical, earth and life science. Bible study and memorization is an emphasis in every classroom, as well as enrichment opportunities in music, foreign language, art, and P.E.
Junior High
A strong core of academic subjects and electives is continued in the 7th and 8th grades. We have found that Jr. High is a time when students experience many changes and they need teachers who understand their needs and can give them consistent reinforcement.
The junior high curriculum includes English, Pre-Algebra, Earth & Life Science, World & US History, Old Testament and New Testament overview, a Fine Arts or Foreign Language elective choice and P.E./Sports/Study Hall.
