At Foundations Christian Academy, our curriculum is designed to cultivate both academic excellence and a deep, personal walk with Christ. We integrate biblical principles into every subject, guiding students to grow in knowledge, faith, and character.

Bible

Students engage with God’s Word through the Bible & Noah Lesson Plans and the Walking with Jesus book, building a solid spiritual foundation from an early age.

Reading & Language Arts (BAR/English/Literature)

We follow the Bible as Reader Method (BAR), the Noah Lesson Plan alongside the Reading Curriculum Guide, Spelling to Read and Write, Wise Guide for Spelling, and our English Language Curriculum Guide to develop strong literacy skills.

Math

We use Dimensions Math; a program that reflects the order and design God has placed in the world. This curriculum emphasizes deep understanding and problem-solving through hands-on, engaging lessons, helping students see the beauty of mathematics as part of God’s creation.

History & Geography

Students explore God's hand in history and His design for the world using the Noah Lesson Plan, Teaching & Learning America's Christian History, and The Christian History of the United States of America.

Science

Our science instruction is based on Heaven & Earth (God’s Design) and the Noah Lesson Plan, encouraging awe for God's creation through observation and discovery.

What Makes the Principle Approach® Different?

At our Christian school, we use the Principle Approach®—a time-tested method that shapes not just how students learn, but who they become. Rooted in God’s Word, this approach revives the way early Americans educated their children to think Biblically and live purposefully. Here’s what makes it unique:

1. Bible-Centered Learning

The Bible is our foundation for every subject. Students learn to see God’s hand in history, science, government, and more - building a Biblical worldview grounded in truth.

2. Character is the Core

We believe education is about shaping the heart as well as the mind. Christian character, guided by Scripture, is intentionally cultivated in every lesson.

3. Teaching by Biblical Principles

Every subject is explored through Biblical principles, helping students understand God’s design and apply His truth to real life.

4. Individualized and Purposeful Education

No "one-size-fits-all" here. We teach to the individual—recognizing each child’s God-given strengths and calling.

5. Students Learn How to Learn

Through our 4R Method (Research, Reason, Relate, Record), students develop deep thinking skills and become lifelong learners and Christian scholars.

6. Teachers as Disciples and Mentors

Our teachers are not just educators they are disciples who model Christ and inspire students through their own ongoing learning and walk with God.

7. Biblical View of History

Students learn that history is “His Story”—the unfolding of God’s plan through time, with nations and individuals playing a part in His purposes.

8. Thinking Governmentally

From an early age, students are taught to reason from God’s Word about personal responsibility, self-government, and how Biblical principles apply in every area of life—from home to community.
