Academics

Academics is at the heart of what we do. At High Point Christian Academy, we want each family to be able to maximize their students learning, through access to good curriculum, excellent instruction, hands on activities, and accountability. Our curriculum choices were selected collaboratively by parents and teachers to work cohesively at home and in the classroom. We have planned a scope and sequence for our entire homeschool hybrid program. Our teachers have outstanding classroom experience, as well as teaching degrees or degrees in the subject area in which they are teaching. We look for opportunities to have our classes work together, such as reading literature in language arts from the time period we are learning about in history, bringing stem activities into our history projects, and putting math to work in our science classes. All of our subjects are presented with an emphasis on forming Christian worldviews and fostering wonder.

Music/Performing Arts

Students of all ages will have the opportunity to participate in music and drama classes. Each year, High Point offers three levels of theater; elementary, middle school and high school.

During this course students will learn to write computer programs, which they will later utilize to make the robots preform certain tasks.

Foreign Language: Spanish & ASL

Our goal is to expose students to a variety of languages throughout their academic career. This is why we offer foreign languages or ASL for all ages.

Elementary & Middle school language classes emphasize introducing vocabulary through fun songs, games and interactive activities.
