Our Curriculum
Our Curriculum
Our 3rd–4th grade students use the Abeka curriculum for all core subjects except math, providing a rigorous, Biblically integrated education that emphasizes strong academics, character development, and a Christian worldview. Through engaging lessons in Bible, reading, language arts, spelling, history, and science, students build a solid foundation for future learning.
For math, students use the Math with Confidence curriculum, which emphasizes hands-on learning, number sense, mathematical thinking, and conceptual understanding through games, manipulatives, and engaging activities designed to help students develop both skill and confidence.

Field trips & Events
Field trips & Events
We believe some of the most meaningful learning happens beyond the classroom through hands-on experiences, creative enrichment opportunities, and joyful community events. Throughout the year, our students participate in educational field trips to places such as Casa Grande Valley Historical Society Museum, local fire stations, the Natural Education Resource Center, and the zoo, helping bring classroom learning to life through real-world exploration. Students also enjoy special on-campus enrichment experiences, including activities such as drum workshops with Casa Grande Drum Academy and woodworking classes. In addition, we love creating meaningful memories through family movie nights, princess tea parties, holiday celebrations, and other community events. Students also have opportunities to participate in Christmas and Easter performances that help build confidence, creativity, teamwork, and a love for worship and the arts.
