Our Curriculum

Students are focused on laying foundational skills in comprehension, vocabulary, phonics, fluency, and phonemic awareness within the Open Court curriculum.

Our goal in math is to help students become critical thinkers and lifelong problem solvers. Our math curriculum, created by Bob Jones University, provides a strong foundation of number sense and comprehension of the concepts by using an interactive, hands-on-learning approach. We recognize that all order and organization in the world is a gift from God understood through mathematical concepts and encourage our students to apply their critical thinking skills to solve human problems to help sustain God’s creation.

Our Christian Schools International (CSI) science program is steeped in profound biblical perspective that leads students to see God’s hand in everything around them. The program materials are filled with interest-provoking pictures, projects, and hands-on activities that serve as a basis for scientific concepts and relate them to everyday life. These concrete, creative learning experiences based on God’s Word will enrich students’ knowledge of creation, affirm their faith in the Creator, and enable them to use science to the glory of God.

From the creation of the world, God has been at work in the lives of people, families, communities, governments, and history to bring people to Himself. This idea is at the heart of our learning in social studies. First, students learn about our community, our country and then our cultures and continents. We recognize that the history of our world is His Story and help our students see their place in that story and how they can be a witness to the people around us.

Our students get the opportunity to see God’s redemptive hand throughout the whole scope of the Bible and see their place in His Story. We encourage students to journey with God: to learn of him and his ways, to be in constant conversations with him, to accept his offer of Salvation, commit their lives to him, and understand how their daily actions and thoughts are directly impacted by Jesus living in their hearts. 

We believe than an active body lends to an active mind, therefore our Kindergarten through second grade students get three recesses a day to allow them to focus and be productive in the classroom. We also offer music, library, art and individual piano and violin lessons through private on campus teachers. The elementary students also attend a variety of enriching field trips throughout eastern North Carolina. 

Students use the foundational skills they learned in the lower elementary to continue to grow and deepen their understanding of the world around them. They learn that God has given us his world to read and know and that we must be good readers to know Him better. 

Students continue to build their skills in math and see how God’s creative order beautifully defines the concepts they are learning. They see how math can be used to serve the world we live in for God’s glory. There are multiple STEM opportunities intertwined throughout the curriculum and the students move forward with a strong mathematical foundation from year to year.

Our upper elementary students are led thoughtfully and skillfully to see God’s hand in the world around them.  Christian Schools International (CSI) includes how God creates, designs and uses every part of His intricately designed creation. Students are taught through lessons and hands-on experiences to unravel the amazing world around them.

God has sustained and continues to guide the world during periods of ancient history and more recent years.  Through a combination of Christian School International (CSI) and Abeka, students see God’s hand by learning about North America, the United States, Old World History, New World History and Geography.

Our students get the opportunity to see God’s redemptive hand throughout the whole scope of the Bible and see their place in His Story. We encourage students to journey with God: to learn of him and his ways, to be in constant conversations with him, to accept his offer of Salvation, commit their lives to him, and understand how their daily actions and thoughts are directly impacted by Jesus living in their hearts.

Third grade begins the chance for students to join Battle of the Books club. They are still given two recesses per day to keep active and ready to learn. They receive Music, Art, Library and interactive technology use in the classrooms
