Our curriculum in grades K-8 is based on five core areas of learning:
Bible
Math

Language Arts including reading writing and spelling
All lessons follow a carefully developed sequential academic plan so that each learning experience serves as a building block for the next grade. The academic studies are taught from a Christian perspective. All students participate in daily devotions and weekly chapels.
