Elementary Curriculum

All curriculum choices are based upon the school’s theme, “Education in light of God’s Word.” Christian and secular texts are utilized. Biblical thought and Christian perspective are integrated within each discipline. Teachers are viewed as the living curriculum whose impact is beyond the written text. All teachers believe the Bible to be the absolute standard of truth.
