HistoryThrough a biblical world view, students are taken around the globe to identify the economic, governmental and societal structures of empires from 300 AD to 1600 AD. They begin with the Fall of the Roman Empire and end with the Renaissance. Along the way, students hear the voice of God as He speaks through missionaries like Columba, St. Patrick, and Cyril. Continuing from the 7th grade, students will dive into American History as they explore the constitutional convention and the history of our nation from the Civil War and Reconstruction. As their history course comes to an end, students will reflect on what is to come, as outlined in the Book of Revelation.

TechnologyTechnology is a key resource integrated throughout our core curriculum. With this additional enrichment course, it offers a creative approach to the use of computers through project based learning. Students get hands-on by composing travel guides and brochures and even get a sneak peek of what it is like to be animators as they design their own video games. Journal writing couldn't be more fun as we implement newsletter activities based on student's interest. Our computer program allows us to build on their foundation and to open them to a world of possibilities, tapping into the imaginative side of technology.
