Curriculum
Over the years, our faculty has developed a curriculum to meet the needs of all our students and to help them be all that God wants them to be. This curriculum is based on the philosophy of the school, personalized through the lives of the teachers, and delivered by them to the hearts and minds of the students. The curriculum presents a traditional academic program taught from a Biblical perspective with special emphasis on reading, writing and math proficiency. Instruction is also provided for all students in Music, Art, Technology, Physical Education, and Media Research.

Christian Education
