Academics

Sequoia Christian Academy realizes the importance of providing students with a quality education and an instructional program that is Bible based.  This program encourages the spiritual, physical, and educational growth of our students.  Center to our program is scripture memorization, understanding Biblical truths, and learning to live everyday as one who embraces the characteristics of integrity, purpose, and service to others.

Our curriculum is true and current in content, accurate, age appropriate and integrated with Biblical principles.  The role of the teacher is emphasized in making this evaluation. Controversial points of view are not withheld but we do attempt to evaluate them in the light of Biblical truths.  All subjects, ideas, and life itself can be evaluated in this way.

PRIMARY
