School Life

The Bible states that Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. It is our priority to help our students grow in knowledge of God through the Bible. Spiritual knowledge as well as intellectual education are vital. We also teach character and life skills through intermural sports, music, and learning foreign languages.

Curriculum

We use the Abeka curriculum books and lessons. We have on-site qualified teachers as well as Master level teachers through Abeka’s Pro-teach video program. In case you are not familiar with Abeka, we have a quick breakdown for you, as well as a link to their site here.

#01

Confidence from the Start

Abeka has continued to refine its content and its approach to learning methods, to ensure your child has the optimum opportunity to learn, from day one.

#02

Proven Track Record

Millions of homeschooled students have used Abeka since it started in 1972, and over 250,000 used Abeka in 2017 alone.

Students taught with Abeka have competed in the Olympics, been accepted into prestigious colleges, and gone on to serve the Lord in demanding careers.

#03

Biblical Foundations & Content

Our philosophy doesn’t come from what sounds good or from what other people are doing right now. Instead, our character-building philosophy comes from a biblical foundation.

#04

Achievable Goals

Too little challenge brings complacency. Too much challenge brings frustration.

We aim for just the right amount.

Since Abeka is so carefully developed with proven methods and then tested,

Average students can succeed.
Students who need a little more help can succeed with a slower pace.
Above-average students can succeed and go on to attain more without feeling that school is boring or too easy.
