SECONDARY SCHOOL

In Grades 6 through 12 the A-Beka curriculum is also used, along with materials from other publishers. There is an ongoing process of curriculum evaluation and development to improve the education and learning that takes place in each grade level.

Bible: At every secondary grade level, Bible occupies a prominent place in the curriculum. Bible materials have been selected on the basis of how well they support our Statement of Faith, their academic presentation, and their interest to each grade level. Students will be expected to commit to memory significant portions of Scripture.

English, Mathematics, Science, Computer, History, Foreign Language, Physical Education, and elective courses are given a thorough explanation in our Curriculum Guide, available through the Secondary school office.

Honors classes are available to students with minimum GPA requirements and teacher recommendations.

College Credit courses are available to Junior and Senior class students.

Fine Arts: Band, Choir, Drama, and Art departments all enhance the extracurricular programs of the Academy. With high levels of student participation in the arts, students excel in skill, proficiency, and performance.

Athletics: Secondary students have a tremendous opportunity to participate in one of the finest athletic programs in the Panhandle. There is a nominal athletic fee charged for participation in each sport. A full weight-training gym is available to all student athletes.

Girls' sports include Middle School and Varsity volleyball, cross-country, basketball, softball, track, golf and tennis. Boys' athletics include tackle football, cross-country, basketball, track, baseball, golf, and tennis.

Students must meet grade eligibility requirements to participate. A student receiving a grade below 70 or a citizenship grade of "U" becomes ineligible for a minimum of three weeks.
