The lower elementary focuses on establishing a strong foundation in Bible, English, Penmanship, and Phonics. Fortifying the basic principles of reading and writing in the lower elementary grades provides conditions for academic growth and success in upper elementary. In addition to core subjects, students also participate in enrichment classes such as art, physical education, music, and choir. Students in fifth grade are enrolled in a beginner’s band course to introduce them to the foundational elements of instrumental music. Kindergarten and first grade use the Abeka curriculum for all instruction. Second grade uses Abeka for Penmanship, Science, and History, and BJUPress for Bible, Math, and English. Third through fifth grades use BJUPress for all instruction.

Students in middle school use a combination of Prentice Hall Math, Positive Action Bible, ABeka, and BJU Press.
