Since the very beginning, we have chosen to use the A Beka curriculum. This is a curriculum produced at Pensacola Christian University. It is apologetically Christian. It does not change with the trends in education from year to year. The learning is not based on testing so that the focus is learning not passing tests. Common Core is the new trend in education. The A Beka curriculum meets and exceeds every component in the Common Core, but in most cases, A Beka meets these components earlier than what is required. However, the techniques used to teach these components are the proven traditional methods. (See examples of Common Core methods).
