The A Beka Curriculum

 

  We use the A Beka curriculum as the core of our learning program in conjunction with our Bible curriculum (check the menu for Bible Curriculum).  In addition, our teachers incorporate themes and special activities into both curriculums.  Please note that we concentrate on the vowels first and continue to the consonants.  Phonemic awareness is important as we prepare children for formal elementary education.
