You want to personally be involved in your child’s education but need an alternative to all the hours of planning that quality teaching requires. You want him to get that all-important foundation in reading, to develop character through good routines and habits, and to LOVE learning—all with the confidence that comes from enrolling in an accredited program. Enjoy the best of both worlds of homeschooling and a traditional Christian school classroom with Abeka Academy! Our experienced, creative video teachers bring fresh ideas to make the first-grade content come to life.
This year, your first grader will build a strong foundation in reading by mastering phonics rules and beginning to read with confidence using a variety of fun, engaging readers. They’ll grow in writing skills as they learn proper letter formation, sentence structure, and how to write simple compositions. In Arithmetic, your child will work with number families, place value, time and money, addition facts through 13, two-digit subtraction, and three-digit addition with carrying. Science and Health introduce fascinating topics like animals, the five senses, and good habits for staying healthy. With Abeka Academy’s virtual program, your child will enjoy the structure and excitement of a classroom while you maintain the flexibility to homeschool at your own pace.
As your child becomes acquainted with the students on the video, he will feel as though he is a part of the class. The teacher will even pause to give “students watching” a turn to participate in games, contests, and drills! While enjoying the fun and expanded learning of the classroom experience, your child will have the benefit of your one-on-one guidance at home as you listen to him read and recite, administer tests, and check his papers.
The prerecorded DVDs give you the flexibility to set your own daily schedule. The video lease provides a full 12 months to complete the 170 lessons and 6 months to complete 85 lessons for a semester. You also have the option to purchase either the Video & Books or Video (for those who may already have some of the materials and wish to purchase individual items separately). A video manual is provided with either option to help you stay on track with the video teacher. Also, record-keeping progress reports are included with both options to document your child’s progress through the school year.
Abeka Academy offers two different program types to meet your family’s specific needs. The Accredited program provides official report cards and reliable record-keeping by our academic team. With either option, academic assistance is accessible through email, live chat, or phone. Conveniently view our Homeschool Agreement before purchase to understand the requirements.
