ABEKA Curriculum
The ABEKA Book approach to Christian Education keeps learning lively, interesting, and memorable. Our materials reflect sensible theory that is firmly anchored to practicality, developed as a result of over thirty years of actual classroom experience in one of America’s largest and most respected Christian Day Schools. ABEKA is a phonics-based curriculum that also touches on math concepts, writing, language arts, social studies, and science. It starts each child’s day off with prayer and bible study which teaches our students about how great our God is.

CREATIVE Curriculum
The Creative Curriculum approach to education is a hands-on, play-based approach. Students are engaged in age-appropriate activities that enable them to use their imagination and curiosity to learn about the world around them. With the insight of the teachers, learning experiences are extended to increase vocabulary, math concepts, and the way these things impact their lives. Discussions address content in literacy, math, science, social studies, the arts, and technology.
