- BIBLICALLY INTEGRATED CURRICULUM
Pearl Harbor Christian Academy uses a combination of the A Beka Book, Prentice Hall, Purposeful Design, and Six Traits for Writing curriculum for Bible, Reading, Language, Phonics, Spelling, Poetry, Writing, Creative Writing, Penmanship, Arithmetic, Science, Health, History, and Geography. We also use Arttango, SPARK, and Techno Kids for Art, Physical Education and Computer Class. Students also take music classes and there are various electives at the Middle School level.
The curriculum selected provides for a very comprehensive and challenging program. Students will be presented with a high standard of academic learning with lessons integrated with biblical principles as the materials are taught on the supposition that all truth comes from God.
