I like Western Christian Academy because I can work at my own pace and get more out of what I am learning! The teachers are always there when I need help or encouragement. They send weekly messages and we do meetings every month to stay connected! I love homeschooling with Western Christian Academy because I have freedom to do all the things I love.

1st – 2nd Grades

Western Christian Academy offers an award-winning accredited unit study booklet curriculum for 1st and 2nd grades.

Western Christian Academy 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.

The curriculum includes 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. Upon completion of 2nd grade, students will be ready to transition into our online 3rd grade curriculum.
