Middle School Curriculum
Our school takes the investment in curriculum very seriously. Each year we adopt new curriculum for a different subject area. The teaching staff is actively involved in the selection of all curriculum materials. We follow the State of California Educational Framework and Content Standards for the primary content of the subject area content. Most of the textbooks we select are state approved texts. Classroom teachers integrate biblical truth and Christian values throughout the curriculum.
The following are the textbook publishers we use in each subject as a basis for our curriculum:
Bible
Positive Action for Christ
Math
Prentice Hall/McDougal Littell
Science
Prentice Hall
Grammar
Easy Grammar/Prentice Hall
Writing
Step Up to Writing
Social Studies
Houghton Miflin/Glencoe
Reading
Prentice Hall/Selected novels

electives.
