Freedom Christian Schools uses the traditional classroom approach to learning based on the Christian point of view. We reject the humanistic philosophy of encouraging the child to set the educational standards of the classroom. We believe the teacher should be the authority figure in the classroom ~ the living curriculum” (Philippians 4:9). Our primary purpose is to provide a sound scholastic environment while maintaining high academic standards. We primarily use A-Beka curriculum in Pre-School through 6th grade; while A-Beka, Bob Jones
and ACSI curriculums are primarily used in grades 7-12.
