Science. We try to gain an overview of God's creation throughout the school year as we learn about the earth, the universe, plants and animals, the atom, energy and motion, and systems of the human body.
History. We will introduce the major ancient civilizations of the world. As we look at the each cultures view of God, we will see the effect it has on culture, customs, and history.
Reading. Our excellent reading materials introduce each student to the joys of good literature while emphasizing thinking and comprehension. The curriculum is supplemented with good children's literature - both contemporary and classics.
