Abeka Phonics System - Using the simple logical phonics system the children will learn to read. They begin by mastering the vowels and consonants and their sounds. Forming blends and reading simple words come naturally after that. By the second semester the children begin reading. Writing books are coordinated with the phonics program. They learn to write the alphabet using both upper and lower case letters. The second semester they begin writing blend words.

Saxon Math - Saxon math is a success-oriented program that enables children to develop a solid foundation in language and basic concepts of all areas of math. Each day children participate in math activities called The Meeting. Here they practice indentifying the month, day and year, identifying a pattern, recognizing numbers, and counting. Each month The Meeting changes as the children acquire knowledge and skills.

Bible Time - Each day children are introduced to Bible stories from the Old and New Testament. Bible time includes Bible stories, the pledge to the flag, a patriotic song, Bible hymns and choruses, memory verse and prayer time.

Unit Studies - Each week a different unit of study is introduced (ex. Community Helpers, Birds, Farm) to help children learn about the world around them. Many of their art activities derive from these units.
