Academics

The K5 program promotes a solid foundation in exceptional reading skills. With an intensive phonics approach, students begin reading words quickly. They learn to recognize long and short vowels, consonants, read one and two-vowel words and special sounds. Phonics review is practiced with correct cursive writing formation in writing tablets.

Students receive an education designed to provide Biblically-centered, challenging academic program for the average-above average student. This comprehensive program offers Bible, Arithmetic, Language Arts, History, Science/Health, Spelling, Reading and Penmanship.

A weekly chapel program adds to our Bible curriculum and allows students to worship together. The goal is to teach students a mastery of subjects and develop enthusiastic interests and a strong sense of confidence. Tutoring classes are scheduled for those students who may be struggling.

Our junior high students continue to build on the foundation introduced in elementary school and develop new skills necessary for success in high school. Seventh and eighth grade students continue the A Beka program in an enjoyable, motivational atmosphere that’s conducive to learning.

The Biblically-centered curriculum includes Bible, Language Arts, Math, History, Science/Health, Spanish, Physical Education and Learning Power. Students at this grade level are eligible to participate in sports and club activities.
