School Programs

As a Christian ministry, we take the Biblical growth of our students very seriously! Our main priority is to teach and inspire our students to have a relationship with God through the study of the Bible, prayer, worship and the testimony of our faculty and staff. We are constantly seeking God’s direction in the way we teach our students. Our faculty and staff come together every morning for a Biblical teaching and prayer. We take prayer requests from our school families, and we truly and earnestly pray for all of them. We prayerfully choose the Bible curriculum for every year, but our main textbook is the Bible. Our school is blessed to have experienced Biblical leadership that is our Bible team. Our students have Bible class daily, and chapel every Friday. Below is our current Bible curriculum.

KINDERGARTEN AND ELEMENTARY

This school year students will explore the Old Testament and the New Testament books through specific grade-level curriculums from Positive Action. Daily lessons will include fun-filled Biblical visual aids and hands-on activities to reinforce the scriptures. Students will be learning Bible verses and inviting God into their classrooms through prayer every day. In addition, students will learn about God’s love, His character, His wonderful gifts, and how to grow closer to Him through His Word. On Fridays, all Elementary students will join and participate in a Chapel time that will include prayer, worship songs, and a positive message.

ACADEMIC CURRICULUM

We are committed to prepare our students to make a difference in this world. Every subject is approached from a Christian perspective, and our students will find Scripture and biblical principles used to emphasize or illustrate concepts. The following is a list of curriculums used that help us tailor our differentiated instruction to meet our students’ needs.

A-Beka

A-beka is a comprehensive Christian curriculum that inspires learning & teaches Biblical values. Combine high academic standards with captivating lessons that build from day to day . . . and year to year. Shape not just what children know, but who they become with character-building content that reinforces biblical values. Tackle every year knowing teachers have what they need to succeed—and our students do, too. A-beka is a curriculum for Teachers by Teachers, carefully crafted content. A-beka curriculum includes:

• Lesson plans that break each lesson down into manageable steps
• Content guided by the unfailing compass of God’s Word

Purposeful Design

Since the mid-1980s, Purposeful Design Publications, a division of ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International), has provided resources and assessments, including academically rigorous textbooks that are intentionally rooted in biblical truth, to equip schools and educators with the tools to eternally transform the hearts and minds of children.

PACE

PACE (Packets of Accelerated Christian Education) is a modified curriculum that is used for our ESE (Exceptional Student Education) students. PACE takes academic subject matter and divides it into bite-sized, achievable units. PACE integrates Godly character building lessons into the academic content. They also are carefully designed to develop thinking skills and create mastery learning. PACE allows each student to absorb subject material according to their own learning ability, with personalized teacher assistance.

When beginning with PACE, students are given an assessment/placement test to determine their starting level. As they progress through the PACE, students are regularly assessed through Check-ups that help determine areas that need further review, and help students toward mastery. PACE progress is documented at the end of each grading period, and at the end of the school year a summary report will be sent home, as well as put in the student’s file.

ENRICHMENT/ELECTIVES

Our Enrichment/Elective program is designed to inspire, motivate and enable our typical and special needs students to achieve their full potential. Below are the different courses offered to our students for the 2023-2024 school year.
