Elementary school students gain mastery of basic skills in Bible, reading, mathematics, grammar, composition, spelling, science, health, history, and penmanship. The curriculum also includes art, music, and physical education.

Once a week the students meet in the chapel to hear Bible teaching and preaching on topics of interest to their age group.

The junior high course of study includes the basic subjects such as: Bible, English, history, mathematics, science, health, and physical education. In preparation for their high school years the junior high begins switching classes throughout the day. This helps to provide more of a challenge and motivation during a time of physical transition. Once a week the students meet in the chapel to hear Bible teaching and preaching on topics of interest to young people. Our students have athletic opportunities in golf, basketball, volleyball, and cheerleading. Our goal is to complement the home and church in helping young men and women become champions for the Lord through biblically centered curriculum, Bible class, and daily devotions.
