FAQs
We use the Abeka Curriculum which is a trusted curriculum that has been around for over 40 years, is used by approximately 10,000 Christian schools across America and around the world, and is used by over 1 million children worldwide.
The core curriculum consists of Bible, English, Math, Science, History, and Vocabulary/Spelling/Poetry/Literature.
