Curriculum

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6

The curriculum and course of study of our school are based on the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod's Course of Study for Elementary Schools. God's Word is the foundation of our comprehensive Christian education program, and we provide quality academic instruction in all areas of the curriculum.

We strive to meet all curriculum requirements for the State of Texas. Achievement tests are also part of the curriculum for grades 3 through 8. We are currently using Metropolitan Achievement Tests 7th Edition.
