Academics and Curriculum

The A'Beka curriculum is used in all classes from Preschool through 8th Grade. A'Beka curriculum began in 1972 and is based in Pensacola, Florida. It is Bible-based and a highly acclaimed curriculum that is used worldwide in over 40,000 private and Christian schools.

Chapel

Every Friday our students attend chapel here at DBCS. This motivating service is centered on every student strengthening their relationship with Jesus Christ. Praise is such a vital part of the overall worship experience, and in our chapel service we sing out in praise to our God. Songs are fun and alive even when we sing the great hymns of the Faith! With an encouraging lesson and real Bible truth, our kids come away encouraged, lifted up, and hopefully even a little closer to God! This is not by accident, we want our students to grow and mature spiritually as they learn academics and develop into men and women of strong character.

Bible

The King James version is the only approved Biblical text accepted at Daytona Beach Christian School. The school office sells Bibles for just $5.00 each. Bob Jones Press Bible curriculum is used on a daily basis in all our classrooms.

Arithmetic, Pre Algebra & Algebra I

We strive to provide curriculum that has been tested, revised and used to train students in basic Arithmetic, Pre-algebra and Algebra 1. These skills will last the student a lifetime.

Art

Art is offered each Monday to preschool through upper elementary classes. Classes offer the students an opportunity for expression through the arts. Some classes offer drawing, painting, various media, and other aspects of art and design. The ABeka art curriculum is used as well as other materials.

Computer is offered each Wednesday to preschool through upper elementary classes. Computer is offered on Friday to all middle school students. This class offers the basic computer training required to operate a computer. Middles school students are offered training in Microsoft office, Internet, and other programs and educational software.

History

We strive to offer a Christian and conservative approach to the study of mankind.

Language

We strive to give students the tools they need to write effectively, speak clearly and read with comprehension. Particular attention is thus given to the teaching of grammar, spelling, vocabulary, composition and literature.

Spanish

We use Rosetta Stone as our basic Spanish curriculum. This is enhanced by the use of other criteria as well as the experience of the Spanish teacher. Students in the 3rd grade through middle school attend these classes each Thursday.

Music

This class is offered each Tuesday and is a graded program for preschool through elementary. Using primarily Bob Jones University Press music curriculum it emphasizes a study of music theory, the basic concept of music and choral training

Reading

We strive to ensure basic reading with a superb foundation in phonics and language instruction.

Science

We present the universe as the direct creation of God and refute the man-made hypothesis of evolution.

The A'Beka curriculum gives the student a quality education from a Christian perspective, and gives a Scriptural foundation for academic excellence and good character training.
