3rd – 6th Grades
Western Christian Academy offers flexible program options for 3rd – 6th grades to fit your budget and level of parent involvement.
Each unit of curriculum (booklet or online) includes reviews to previously learned concepts and the integration of new concepts throughout all subjects for reinforcement. This allows students additional time to master new concepts enabling them to move quickly through lessons after they have mastered a concept. Each course combines reading lessons, assignments, occasional projects, review, and a final test. Mastery of all course studies, both online and in booklet format, require a minimum passing score before a student can advance to the next course of study.

Parent As Teacher Booklet Program
Parents are the primary instructors for the Parent As Teacher Booklet. A Western Christian Academy Parent Advocate is readily available as needed. The unit study booklet format includes writing assignments where students can practice handwriting skills. The parent supervises the student’s progress and grades daily work and practice assessments. The 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.
A booklet in each subject will take an average of three weeks to complete. Each booklet combines reading pages, exercises, occasional projects, unit review, and a unit test. Each booklet includes a review of previous concepts for reinforcement. New concepts and skills are integrated throughout all subjects for reinforcement.
Parent As Teacher Online Program
Parents are the primary instructors for the Parent As Teacher Online Program by Ignitia, an award-winning learning system that presents a Christian worldview for 3rd – 6th grade. Created to give a truly multi-dimensional interactive learning experience, these courses are infused with over 50,000 media enhancements, 3-D animation and cutting-edge multimedia including video clips, digital tutors, slide shows, animation, dynamic learning games, historical timelines, and hands-on exercises that bring learning to life. Packed with exciting content and dynamic elements, this learning system engages students and inspires academic achievement. The curriculum is written on the principle of “mastery learning.” This means that students truly master the content and skills of one unit before progressing to the next. The “mastery learning” approach ensures success by allowing each student to spend as much time as necessary in one subject before moving on to the next unit of work.
Students can complete schoolwork questions, activities and quizzes from any learning environment location with a broadband connection. A large portion of student work is automatically computer scored, saving parents time and it guides a student’s thinking while the concept is fresh in their mind. To enhance student motivation, parents and students can view their grades online at any time. Parents and students have access to a built-in messaging system allowing the student and parent to communicate easily throughout the day. A Western Christian Academy Parent Advocate is readily available as needed to assist with implementing the program.
Parent As Teacher Combination Program
Parents are the primary instructors for the Parent As Teacher Combination Program. This program utilizes a combination of the Parent As Teacher Booklet Program and the Parent As Teacher Online Program as described above. For example History, Bible, and Science courses are presented in an online format, while Language and Math courses are in a booklet format. The choice is flexible for students and parents. This combination format helps to transition your student from a paper-based curriculum to the benefits of an online curriculum.
Online With Teacher On-Call Program
Students are assigned Western Christian Academy online teachers with the Online With Teacher On-Call Program. This means they have a teacher they can interact with when they need help or clarification. This program can reduce parent involvement to the level that works best for the student. Along with the built-in messaging center within the curriculum, one-on-one academic assistance is provided by telephone, Skype, online whiteboard and other digital tools. Parents can direct their student to use a Western Christian Academy teacher for concept help, instruction and questions throughout the year, including extra academic assistance as needed.
