Bible

Each year, students will be involved in a Bible class! Our classes are enriching environments that foster intentional spiritual conversations and teach solid biblical doctrine. Depending on the year, students will learn truths from the Old and New Testaments. Our senior Bible class shakes things up by switching teachers throughout the year, covering faith building truths before sending our seniors out into the world! We desire for our students to make their faith their own and build confident followers of Christ who are able to defend their beliefs and grow in their own spiritual walk with the Lord.
 

English

High school English courses provide a survey of world, American, and British literature.  Students are taught how to apply a Biblical worldview to read and analyze various genres of literature.  English curriculum primarily focuses on advanced writing and grammar skills, literary analysis and synthesis, the research process, enriched vocabulary acquisition, and communication skills via public speaking and technology.  Courses adhere to the Alabama Course of Study for English Language Arts and provide preparation for scholastic aptitude tests and post-secondary endeavors.
