1st-2nd Grade

Western Christian Academy uses a booklet learning platform for 1st and 2nd grades. Parents are the primary instructors. The curriculum presents a Christian worldview where students gain a clear understanding of God’s creation and learn to apply critical thinking for character building. Students are guided through lessons at their own pace. This allows them to master concepts before moving to more challenging lessons.

Each booklet includes systematic reviews to previously learned concepts while integrating new concepts and skills throughout all subjects for reinforcement. This allows students additional time to master new concepts, and it allows them to move quickly through lessons after they have mastered a concept. Each booklet combines reading lessons, assignments, occasional projects, unit review, and a unit test. Unit tests are sent to us on a quarterly basis for scoring and record keeping, parents keep copies of the tests for their records. We track the student’s academic progress and send report cards each semester. Students are encouraged to practice penmanship throughout all lessons to develop the necessary motor skills for writing that will last a lifetime.

Students are assigned five subjects and will complete a booklet in each subject in approximately three weeks. A student will complete approximately 50 booklets, 10 colorful booklets per subject during the school year. The parent supervises the student’s progress and grades their daily work and practice assessments. A Parent Advocate and academic counselors are readily available for your support with personalized education plans, daily lesson plans and other questions. The booklet curriculum program and many of the daily student procedures closely align with our online programs. This allows a student to quickly and successfully assimilate into one of our online programs in the 3rd grade.
