Grace Christian School

GRADES 6 - 8 OVERVIEW

Our program for Grades 6 - 8  is fully integrated educational program in which we primarily use a combination of the A Beka , Bob Jones University Press and ACSI Christian curriculum materials along with some secular curriculum.

Bible is a graded part of the curriculum and integrated into all areas of student education and life.

Language arts, history, science and math  are taught by teachers specializing in these subject areas.

Computer and physical education are taught by teachers experienced in these special areas.  Students are graded on their participation in these areas.

Vocal music is part of the curriculum in grade 6.   Choir, Band, and Art are electives in grades six through eight.  Choir and band students perform in three evening programs during the school year as well as other competitions during the year.

Students in grades 6 - 8 may participate in the annual school Fine Arts Festival in a variety of different areas.  In-class speeches are required as part of the language arts curriculum.  The best presentations in each speech area are entered into Fine Arts.  Creative writing is done by all students with the best pieces entered for Fine Arts judging. 

All students in grade 7 are required to do a history project and all students in grade 8 are required to do a science project.  These projects are judged as part of Fine Arts.
