 
Curriculum
In the upper elementary and intermediate years, instruction focuses on core subjects, Bible Study, English, math, social studies, and science. While we continue building basic skills, we also push students to research and develop original thoughts, which builds their leadership and communication abilities. We also enhance our learning through foreign language studies (Japanese and Spanish), music (band or choir), speech contests, National Geography Bee, Spelling Bee, MathCounts Competition, and extra-curricular sports. We departmentalize a few subjects, which enables teachers to teach from their particular strengths.
