Our Curriculum

 

At Harvest Salt & Light Academy, our curriculum is intentionally chosen to provide both a strong biblical foundation and excellent academic instruction. We use the Answers Bible Curriculum to guide students in understanding God’s Word, building a biblical worldview, and learning to confidently know and defend their faith.  Alongside this, we implement the Abeka academic program, known for its strong, structured approach to reading, math, writing, history, and science. Together, these programs allow us to offer a well-rounded education that is both academically rigorous and deeply rooted in truth.

 

Strong Academic Foundations 

We place a significant emphasis on literacy, recognizing that reading is the gateway to lifelong learning. Through structured phonics instruction, guided reading, reading comprehension, handwriting, spelling, vocabulary development, and quality literature, students are equipped with the tools they need to build the skills necessary to become fluent readers, effective communicators, and confident learners.


Mathematics is taught with the same intentionality. Students develop a deep understanding of mathematical concepts through hands-on learning, problem-solving, critical thinking, and real-world application. Rather than simply teaching students how to arrive at an answer, we strive to help them understand the "why" behind the process, building both competence and confidence along the way.


Our approach is rooted in mastery and understanding rather than rushing through material. We believe children learn best when they are given the time, support, and encouragement needed to fully grasp concepts before moving forward. Through small class sizes and relationship-based instruction, teachers are able to meet students where they are, provide individualized support, and cultivate a genuine love for learning to grow academically with confidence.


The result is an educational environment where students are challenged academically, encouraged personally, and equipped with the strong foundations needed for future success.
