Academics
We partner with renowned and proven educational curriculum to grow our students. ABEKA and IGNITIA are leaders in Christian worldview education.
ABEKA
SBCA uses the ABEKA curriculum for grades K thru 3. ABEKA is a Christian-based curriculum designed for the conventional classroom setting. It is excellent in its phonics approach in teaching students to read, as opposed to the whole language or sight learning approach.
Our school participates in standardized testing each spring, and the students consistently score in the top 20 percent in the nation! This is largely due to the small class size and attention each student receives on a daily basis. Each child has the opportunity to reach his or her potential in this setting.
IGNITIA
SBCA uses the latest in individualized instruction based curriculum called Ignitia for grades 4 through 12. Ignitia is a computer-based program featuring 3-D animation and cutting edge multimedia. Students finish lessons by completing various questions, activities, quizzes, and reviewing informative videos — all through a network based program.
Ignitia increases the time for teacher-student interaction. Most of the grading is automatic, so teachers only have to grade subjective questions. Teachers and students can leave messages for one another, and teachers find their work cut in half with the record keeping and lesson planning features.
Ignitia offers much flexibility for customized learning to fit each student’s educational needs. Students are guided through the lessons at their own pace, giving them the chance to master concepts before moving on to more challenging lessons.
There are approximately 130 lessons per subject. Five core subjects — Bible, Language Arts, Math, History & Geography, and Science — plus a number of electives, such as: Constitution, Spanish, French, and College Planner.
