Abeka Curriculum Review
This curriculum review looks at the ABEKA curriculum; a school-at-home homeschooling approach that is tried and true. The A Beka Book approach to Christian education keeps learning lively, interesting, and memorable. Their materials reflect sensible theory that is firmly anchored to practicality. A Beka Book materials have been developed as a result of 50 years of actual classroom experience in Pensacola Christian Academy, one of America’s largest and most respected Christian day schools.
3 Home School Options
A Beka provides several choices to accommodate your lifestyle:DVD –A Beka AcademyA proven and widely accepted K-12th grade program designed to provide an excellent and complete Christian education for home schoolers. Easy plug and play with built in review options. You do not retain materials indefinitly...so can't go back the following year to review or re-read a favorite topic. Traditional Parent-Directed –A Beka AcademyThis program provides you with all the necessary A Beka Book materials needed for parent-directed education for an entire grade (K5-Grade 6). You can purchase guides and lessons plans that are very well laid-out. Takes a lot of the hassles out of daily planning. Textbooks and Materials – A Beka BookOver 800 textbooks and teaching aids are available for nursery through grade 12. I make use of this option because I find their Math and phonics programs to be unbeatable! They are very thorough, review oriented and advanced...you want to start with them and not jump in the middle. It placed my students consistently a grade or two above in the standardized tests!
For kindergarten through grade 6, they offer home school lesson plans, and home school charts and games to add interest to the teaching. In grades 7 and 8 they offer Parent Guides to Curriculum and Record Keeping, and in high school, several English and math courses include home school daily lesson plans for the student.For more information, visit their website at:
