ENHANCED CURRICULA
LOVE AND CARE
We believe that academics are incomplete without an integration
of Love and Care. We foster these ideals daily. Spiritual
learning is promoted via:
Worship. Praise and awareness of God is a vital ingredient
of our total curriculum. Friday chapels in the church
auditorium with the whole student body include spirited
singing and
Bible lessons and stories by ministers from local churches
and other guests. On occasion, middle school participants
will have their own chapel services.
Bible. Scripture memorization and daily devotions are
included in each classroom. The classroom Bible curriculum
is nondenominational
and establishes the authority of God's Word. The lessons
build lifetime personal Bible study skills and emphasize
Christian living.
Service. Teachers will encourage one or more school and/or
service projects each year.
OTHER ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS

Language. A foreign language is taught once a
week to all grades. More intensive study is offered to
7th and 8th Grade students. After successful completion
of Spanish 1A and 1B in Middle School, students should
