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. 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 online video streaming or 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. You can also choose to
include Spanish as part of your child’s learning experience.
Abeka Academy offers two different program types to meet your family’s specific needs. The
Accredited program includes official report cards and record-keeping by our academic team,
while the
Unaccredited program provides more flexibility and relies on the home teacher to
track student progress. Both options include academic support via email, live chat, or phone.
