When you use Abeka, you’ll experience how a Christian education is an excellent education.

•  Leads and engages students
• Builds character
• Includes cross-subject integration, phonics-based reading, and spiral learning approach

Your materials and methods start with the firmest foundation: what the Bible says about human nature, knowledge, authority, orderliness, and philosophy. Instead of complying with the latest short-lived academic trends, your lessons will build on methods that have produced results for generations.

Your students will learn the knowledge and skills they need, but they’ll also learn how to learn, build sound character, establish healthy relationships with others, and form the priceless habit of personal accountability.

• Enabled by teaching a firm foundation of facts
• Challenged through higher-level thinking and application of facts
• Supports the goal of well-educated students able to defend their faith and apply knowledge

Building from a foundation of facts, your students will learn how to apply those facts to solve problems, generate ideas, and discern truth.
