SPIRIT ACADEMY ACADEMICS
Spirit Academy has created a school setting that allows teachers and co-teachers to partner together in educating students academically, socially, and spiritually. Our kindergarten, first, second, and third grade classes meet twice weekly in a traditional classroom setting that integrates all subjects taught by one teacher at each level. The fourth through sixth grade programs, also meeting twice a week, offer a full course of study (Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science, and Fine Arts). Each course is one hour in length and is taught by the qualified teacher. These fourth through sixth grade teachers specialize in a specific subject and therefore only teach that subject. Accordingly, our elementary program differs from a "traditional elementary school program" in that the fourth through sixth grade students have separate teachers for each of the subjects. This structure has been found effective at ensuring that students receive quality education in all subject matters. Students register for the entire program. These students are taught subjects in a classroom setting by a teacher on Wednesday/Thursday and by co-teachers, following teacher provided lesson plans, on Monday/Tuesday/Friday at home.
The secondary program also offers a full course of study which includes 55 minutes per day of teaching for the following subjects: Literature, Foreign Language, Social Studies, Science, Fine Arts, Computer Science, Biblical Studies, Math and a host of electives. Students register for individual classes and may take as few or as many as they desire. However, students are encouraged to take a certain number of classes so they can meet our residency requirements for diploma, ranking, and transcript purposes. The subjects are taught by a classroom teacher on Tuesday/Friday and are independently taught, based upon teacher provided lesson plans, on Monday/Wednesday/Thursday. Some classes, in which more instructional time is needed, meet three days a week. Each student who registers for courses at Spirit Academy will have a transcript on file with the school, with a copy of this transcript made available to the student's parents upon request. Spirit Academy will include approved parent courses of study on a student's transcript if the student meets residency requirements. Spirit Academy is accountable only for the courses taught at Spirit Academy. Any course instruction received at other schools or instruction provided through home education is the responsibility of the parent. Transfer of credit to Spirit Academy for any such instruction may be granted in accordance to Spirit Academy's policies concerning credit transfer. |
