Content standards were designed to encourage the highest achievement of every student, by defining the knowledge, concepts, and skills that students should acquire at each grade level. We focus on physical, spiritual, and the mental development of each child for service to the community and world. Broad areas of curriculum include religion, communication skills/balanced literacy, physical and life sciences, mathematics, social studies, health-safety and physical education, technology, practical applied arts and fine arts. These content areas include character building, witnessing-service, physical-spiritual-social development, career education, and a work ethic. At the secondary level, the curriculum is designed to serve a wide range of interests and abilities, each meeting rigorous national standards, providing critical preparation for college and the best possible preparation for future success.
