Middle School Curriculum


 
Bible
 
 
 
Character Quest
 
 
A specific character trait is introduced and addressed for each  week of the year. This curriculum clearly teaches that God's Word is the basis for true character. 
 
 
Survivor Quest
 
 
 Students study 34 different Bible characters. From their lives and other Scripture, students will learn how to successfully manage various challenges such as broken relationships, sibling rivalry, anger, deep disappointments, personal failures, and so forth. Students will discuss issues, personally interact with God's Word, and apply godly principles to their own lives. The result will be a growing spiritual maturity that will enable students to both survive and thrive during the wonderful teen years.

General Science
 
This course is designed to be a student’s first systematic introduction to the sciences.   The course covers such topics as the scientific method, designing experiments, simple machines, archaeology, geology, paleontology, biology, and human anatomy and physiology. Its scope, therefore, is quite wide. There are many hands-on experiments to do, and they all use household items.
 
 
 
Physical Science
 
This course is designed to be the last science course the student takes before high school biology.   The text discusses such topics as the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, weather, the structure of the earth, environmentalism, the physics of motion, Newton’s Laws, gravity, and astrophysics. The author especially concentrates on the myths generated by the hysterical environmentalist movement. There are many hands-on experiments to do, and they all use household chemicals and supplies. It is an excellent course for preparing the student to take a college-prep high school science curriculum. 
 
 
 
 
Physical Science
