Christian Values/Bible Classes

Every day @ THE ROCK ACADEMY begins with group prayer and grade level bible classes.   Every Wednesday morning students have Chapel.  Chapel is a high-energy, multimedia interactive time for students to sing praises to God and to learn how to apply what they’re learning in Bible class on a daily basis.

THE ROCK ACADEMY uses the ABEKA DVD interactive curriculum.  ABEKA is one of the most widely used and accepted Christian education curriculums:  used by Christian schools worldwide and over 27,000 home-schools.  For over 50 years ABEKA’s curriculum has proven to provide a superior education based on traditional values and teaching techniques, while masterfully blending the Word of God with every subject.

While attending THE ROCK ACADEMY your child will learn science, math, language and history from a Christian perspective.  They will receive quality instruction from Master-Level teachers who have a proven track record.  In addition, to having superior instruction from the ABEKA DVD instructors, your child will also receive the one-on-one attention from our teachers necessary to ensure their academic growth and success.

Through technology, quality instruction, loving teachers, a host of masterfully produced textbooks and workbooks, and extra-curricular activities such as art, music and   P. E., THE ROCK ACADEMY will provide your child with a truly Superior Christian Education.

“My (kindergarten) child came home and told me about how one of the high school students, ‘big kids’ as he put it, told him, while they were all lined up to going outside to play, that his shoe was untied.  My son told the big kid that he didn’t know how to tie his shoe, so the big kid tied his shoe for him while trying to teach him how to do it. I thought it was so cool that an older student, rather than shunning the younger ones, were actually looking out for them as an older brother would. I am so thankful for the loving environment THE ROCK ACADEMY provides for my child.  The thought never comes to mind about whether my child will be bullied, picked on or made fun of." —Thankful Parent

A:    Accreditation means that we pay a large fee for an independent agency of our choice to verify that we are meeting the goals and standards that we set for our school. This in turn means a higher tuition.  In addition, many agencies require schools to have at least 150 students to be accredited.  Many have the wrong idea about Accreditation. Not being accredited does NOT mean that your child will not be accepted into a public school.  Additionally, it is NOT required for your child to attend an accredited school to receive credits and attend college.  In fact, there are some public schools that are not accredited.

Q:    Does the DVD Program mean my child will watch TV all day?

A:    No.  The DVD program is designed to work in concert with the on-site teacher.  The average time of DVD instruction is 3 hours/day presented in short 15-30 minute intervals depending on the grade level.  During this time your child is learning from Master Teachers (some of the best teachers in their field).  The remainder of the time is traditional one-on-one time with the their teacher and classroom interaction.  The DVD program uses modern technology toprovide a wonderful interactive learning experience for the students.

Q:    Are the teachers certified?

A:    All of our classes are taught by certified Master Teachers.  Our on-site teachers are hired with prayerful consideration based on Christian Character, experience working with children in a classroom and their commitment to Christian Education.

Q:    Do you give the FCAT?

A:    No. Our students take the SAT (Stanford Achievement Test). The SAT is nationally recognized and gives a comparison of how our students are performing on a national basis.
