Academics

LITERACY

We start students reading sooner than most schools through peer reading centers, short stories, poetry, and Biblical passages. As students get older we start to explore Fiction and Non-Fiction classics.

WRITING

Using our knowledge of grammar and oral storytelling we teach students creative and observational writing.

MATHEMATICS

In Math, we will open our minds to Numbers, Fractions, Geometry, and Algebra. We will become Problem Solvers in Math, Life, and everyday living through the word of God.

SCIENCE

Through Science we marvel at the world around us; the world God created. We learn through observation and hands-on exercises on how to appreciate and protect His creations.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

We are fortunate enough to have an indoor gymnasium, an outdoor playground area, a volleyball court, and a soccer setup. With these tools, we incorporate physical education in regards to good health, good exercise, and how to take care of the unique bodies God has given each of us.

ART

With instruction geared toward each unique age group, our art classes allow students to learn pencil sketching, watercolor, clay sculpting, and more!

ASSESSMENTS

Standardized tests help schools objectively assess students’ academic progress and potential from year to year. At New Hope Christian Academy we use the Iowa Assessment.

Standardized tests helping schools objectively assess students’ academic progress and potential from year to year with quantifiable test data based on accepted models of student academic development. The standardized test results can reveal strengths and weaknesses in the child’s knowledge.

Testing can only be administered during specific times in campus-based schools using the A.C.E. curriculum and cannot be purchased by individual homeschool families.

New Hope Christian Academy is dedicated to the philosophy that Christian education is true education. The Bible teaches us that children are a gift from God and the education of them is a most serious responsibility. Christian education recognizes that children are a unity of spiritual, mental and physical beings. Education must include the spiritual nature or else the child will grow up never knowing the true purpose of living.

New Hope Christian Academy has been created with the knowledge that it is an extension of the Great Commission. The staff and faculty realize that under God, we are personally responsible to see to it that each student receives a firm foundation for life.

“Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” ~Proverbs 22:6
