Students love this motivating Christian curriculum which gives them a sense of accomplishment as they complete each worktext!
LIFEPAC worktexts include engaging lessons, activities, review questions, and tests. Scripture passages are integrated throughout worktexts to help students connect daily learning to biblical truth. |
Students will enjoy this look at history as they see how God has worked throughout time.
LIFEPAC History & Geography develops students' understanding of and appreciation for God's activity as seen in the record of man and his relationships. The LIFEPAC History & Geography worktext-based curriculum targets this goal by focusing on six major themes: Geography (World and American), History (World, American, and Religious), Government, Citizenship, Economics, and Social Sciences. |
Each Bible-based language arts worktext offers a mix of colorful illustrations, easy to follow lessons, and ample opportunity for both oral and written practice of new skills.
LIFEPAC Language Arts covers the six major content strands of reading, speaking and listening, writing, spelling, grammar, and composition. The program also covers topics like visual media, the history of the English language, the Bible as literature, and book reports, as well as study and research skills that are grade appropriate. |

LIFEPAC Science focuses on the development of observational skills as they study the physical universe God created. The four major strands of this curriculum include Life Science (plants and animals, human anatomy and personal care, biology), Space and Earth Science (geology, weather, space), Physical Science (chemistry, physics), and the nature of science (scientific method, experimentation, technology). |
The consumable worktexts in this LIFEPAC curriculum for Elementary grades 3-5 are packed with essential grammar and composition skills, including instruction in story development, poetry, written reports, word usage, reading fluency, and more. The worktexts contain all of the reading assignments so no need to keep up with a number of different books.
But if these print-based worktexts are thorough, does that mean they're also easy to use? Absolutely! Their colorful, step-by-step format can keep your elementary student’s attention and help him become an independent learner. And each ultra-thin worktext in this biblical worldview curriculum can be finished every three to four weeks, so your student will feel a great sense of accomplishment. |
MIDDLEBURY ELEMENTARY SPANISH ELECTIVE
|
Students continue or begin their language-learning adventure in Elementary (grades 3-5) starting with Spanish I (version for grades 3-5) and then move on the next year to Spanish 2 (version for grades 3-5) The content for each unit provides a fun and interactive experience for students and is based on an authentic story, myth or legend from various Spanish-speaking cultures. Although the course focuses primarily on vocabulary acquisition, basic grammar principles are intuitively grasped through stories, games, activities, songs and assessments.
The Middlebury Spanish for Elementary is an additional tuition charge for those families wanting this optional course. |

the nfc academy daily lesson planner
|
The NFC Academy Elementary Daily Lesson Planner lays out each day's work to get you through the year without concern about the pace. Your NFC Academy Daily Lesson Planner is your guide to use so you stay on schedule. It lays out all work that is done in each subject for each day of your school year.
When a student’s school year is set it includes the holidays typical to a school setting. Major holidays include Thanksgiving, Christmas break, Spring Break and for those who work in the summer, a summer break. There are other one day holidays like Labor Day, Veterans Day, MLK Day, Good Friday, and Memorial Day. All of these are a part of the calendar so if your family wants to take a break during these holidays you can and still be on schedule to finish as you plan. Of course, you can also have homeschool during those days if you select to do so. |

elementary 3RD-5TH grade is accredited
|
|
annual standardized testing available
|
Some states require some form of annual standardized testing for homeschool students. Typically, a test must be called a norm referenced test and not one similar to the various state created tests.
To enable our families to meet this requirement and to help us evaluate our academic program we make the Stanford Achievement Test Online available for our students. The test given in April each year is online for grades 3-11 and for our K-2nd grade we use the booklet tests for students. The most recent test results for our elementary students is in the image showing the percentile scores of our students who took the test. The median percentile score on this test is at the 50th percentile and you can see our students score well above that average. |
