ABC Curriculum Overview

1. Biblically Based

We believe that the Word of God is the standard and foundation for truth. Our educational resources will not contradict that which is written in the Bible.

2. Cognitive Reasoning

LIFEPAC curriculum questions are designed to develop a student's cognitive reasoning. We go beyond typical memory questions like true and false, multiple choice and fill in the blank. LIFEPAC questions develop analytical skills through the requirement of brief answers, essays and experiments.

3. Integrated Subject Material

We believe ALL subject material should be integrated to help the student understand that life is not "compartmentalized."
Mathematical skills are necessary in science.
Scientific research is rich in historical data.
Language arts is valuable in communicating God's Word, God's history and God's science.

4. Personalized Instruction

We believe that a student excels in learning when an instructor is involved. Our curriculum combines individualized education with teacher interaction. This results in students with a comprehensive understanding of the subject.

5. Mastery Learning

Mastery learning is based on the principle that a student must master the content and skills of a single LIFEPAC unit before progressing to the next. When the student begins the LIFEPAC curriculum, it is essential that he begin at his present "learning skill level." This is determined through our diagnostic testing and eliminates personal opinion regarding a child's scholastic ability.
