• What curriculum do you use?

In keeping with our school's purpose - to disciple students in God's word, to help them develop their God-given gifts and talents, to discover God's purpose for their lives, and to equip students to be productive Christian leaders in their communities - our instructional program is designed with God's word at its heart.

Our elementary program incorporates materials from A Beka Book publishers. Our secondary program incorporates materials from A Beka, Bob Jones, and A.C.E.. Students in 1st through 10th grades are administered the Stanford Achievement and Otis Lennon Ability tests on an annual basis to provide student achievement data and provide critical data necessary for evaluating our educational program. Secondary students are given the PSAT (Practice SAT test for college entry) and are guided in the process of completing the College Board SAT (for college entry) and/or the ACT (for college entry). Elementary and Middle School students are involved in weekly special activity classes including music, art, and physical education.

• What types of extra-curricular activities do you have?

Students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of extra-curricular activities including Fine Arts, JV and Varsity sports (7th - 12th grades)—Football (8-man tackle), Volleyball, Basketball, and Baseball; and Jr. and Sr. High banquets and trips.

• What makes you different than the public schools?

There are three major differences.

The first difference is academic. We believe that our curriculum is more rigorous than the government schools and the results of that are reflected in our standardized test comparisons.

The second and more important difference is philosophical. We believe that we are in the role of assisting the parent to do their job of educating their child. We are not in charge of your child. Therefore, our system is designed to support the family and not the school system.

Third, and most important, is a spiritual difference. We believe that there can be no true education without Christ as the center. All of science, math, literature, and history, revolves around the sovereign God of the universe. A child who learns without God in their school environment learns to think that God is not necessary in their personal environment. To know God is the most important thing in any person’s life.
