Sun & Shield Christian Academy

Discipleship: The goal of our teachers is not only to teach curricula but also to train character. Our frequent communication with parents and low student-to-teacher ratios enable teachers the opportunity to mentor each child individually.

Procedures: Sun & Shield Christian Academy practices the Grammar learning stage, as asserted in "The Lost Tools of Learning," for our kindergarten through sixth grade classes.

These methods include:

Songs & Chants
Hands-on projects
Models & Displays
Drills & Games
Drama & Recitation
Field trips

MATERIALS

While students in K-3rd are given instruction in science and history, our focus in these formative years are the basics of old: Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. Therefore, our traditional curriculum is material that has been successfully used for decades.

A Beka Phonics This program leads to early independence in reading by developing early-word analysis and comprehension skills.
Saxon Math Saxon Math is unique because the entire program is based on introducing a topic to a student and then allowing the student to build upon that concept as they learn new ones.
Shurley Grammar The Shurley Method uses repetition, fun songs and chants, and a concrete set of questions about each word in a sentence to teach students how all the parts of a sentence fit together.
