Academics 


Kindergarten 

Bethel Baptist Christian Academy offers a full-day kindergarten program. Our curriculum includes Bible, reading, phonics, math, handwriting, science, health, social studies, art, music, physical education, and library. 

Grades 1-6

​Our curriculum includes Bible, reading, (phonics in grades 1 and 2), language, handwriting, spelling, mathematics, science, health, social studies/history, art, library, music, and physical education. Students are taught reading initially by means of a phonetic approach. Math concepts are learned through repetitious drill and manipulative's. In addition, Christian values are taught through Bible lessons, memorization of Scripture, and chapel. Christian citizenship is stressed each day through prayer and the pledges to the American and Christian flags and the Bible. In grades 4-6, additional emphasis is placed on reading for understanding. As the student reads in social studies, science, history, and other content subjects, he/she is taught to locate, appraise, and organize ideas in order to understand the printed material. Comprehension skills, vocabulary building and word analysis are also emphasized to increase the student's ability to read narrative and informational materials.
