ACADEMICS
Core Academic Program
King’s Academy (KA) Upper Academy is currently a 6th-10th grade college-prep tutorial. We partner with parents to provide an education that challenges their student’s minds and shapes their hearts to pursue lifestyles rich in ongoing learning, healthy relationships with God and others, and the pursuit of meaningful work. Our staff aim to create an educational environment where students learn to value and experience the process of discovery rather than the completion of assignments and courses. KA passionately pursues the joy and privilege of coming alongside families in the holy endeavor of homeschooling.
As a homeschool support program designed to supplement a child’s home education, it is important parents recognize they are the primary provider of their child’s education.
Core Academic Program
Students attend class on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. Courses include math, history, science, English/composition, and Spanish.
Classes are taught by qualified Christian teachers, and the maximum capacity of each class is 16 students.
