CURRICULUM

Our School’s curriculum reflects the strong desire to prepare our students academically for navigating the world and the future work-force. 

 We put an equal and even greater emphasis, at times, on developing our students’ character, servant- leadership, and communication skills. We believe strongly about “heart” development. The skills pursued in regards to our integrity reflect into the deeper and more fundamental aspects of our lives and overflow into the lives of so many others! 

We also believe that having small class sizes allows us to reach each individual student’s needs more effectively. A child’s strengths and weaknesses are known. We are able to foster their strengths and shore up the areas in which a student is weak. This is the true purpose of education!

We believe that the core subjects should be:

  • Reading – Orton Gillingham based & multi-sensory.
  • Writing – beginning with a solid foundation that builds with ability and rigor.
  • Math – self-paced, critical thinking, problem solving, and to proficiency
  • Science – hands-on and Creation based, sparking engagement and wonder
  • History – historical accuracy
  • Bible – devotional, life application, and expository
