Students learn the basics for further learning in reading, writing and mathematics. The school follows the Saxon Math curriculum. In the upper elementary grades the students also learn “how to learn.” In all subjects teachers show how God is ruler over all and His Word has implications for every subject as they begin to understand how to follow God and walk in His Spirit.
Students celebrate birthdays as a class. Students also participate in projects to serve members of the community who need help, such as schools for the hearing impaired and a local wheelchair project.
