Courses Co-Authored by April:

Learning About World Cultures: You’ve heard of Russia and Brazil. What about Moldova and Swaziland? This course will travel the globe, from continent to continent, providing a brief glimpse of the culture present within each country on that continent, with an opportunity for further research to enrich the student’s understanding of the world around them. From population and languages to religion and holidays, there is an abundance of facts to learn about each stop along the way.

Schoolhouse Bible: How can a young person stay on the straight and narrow path? According to Psalm 119, he can pay attention to God’s Word! The best way to do that is to read and study the Scriptures. Our Schoolhouse Bible curriculum has a Bible reading guide for every grade, as well as Bible memorization passages. The preschool lessons introduce Bible readings from both the Old and New Testaments, and a student who follows the curriculum every year from kindergarten through twelfth grade will have studied the Bible through five times. Additional activities, which vary by grade level, help students internalize and apply the Word of God.
