Seventh Grade

Students learn grammar and composition, spelling, vocabulary and poetry, arithmetic, history and geography, science, health, Bible stories, music, literature and arts and crafts.

Grammar &
Composition

There is an emphasis on the orderly structure of our language and to train the students to use the English
language effectively. The curriculum promotes standards of correct grammar and usage, equipping the
students with the tools they need to become effective communicators in both speaking and writing. Students
will learn to recognize the different parts of speech, fit these parts of speech together to form sentences, join
sentences together to make paragraphs, and organize paragraphs into compositions.

Bible

This curriculum is filled with many astounding stories about Bible characters such as Daniel, Elijah, and Esther.

Students will also study Joshua’s life and learn how his loyalty to God made him an excellent leader and
caused him to triumph in battle. These Bible stories will show students how God can do mighty acts when a
person has faith in Him.

History & Geography

History is presented from a conservative, Christian perspective as part of a well-rounded program designed to
give students a better understanding and a working knowledge of the geography of the Eastern Hemisphere.
The interesting narrative style of the text and the many illustrations, maps, and photographs invite students to
explore the past and learn about the people behind the events of world history.

Spelling, Vocabulary
& Poetry

There is an emphasis on the application of spelling rules to lists of challenging words and the utilization of an
expanded vocabulary. All of the spelling words are practical, and many are words that are frequently
misspelled. The goal of poetry is to provide an enjoyment and appreciation of poetic beauty and excellence.

Arithmetic

This curriculum gives a strong review of all arithmetic concepts with practical application to daily life. With solid
skills in arithmetic, students have the confidence to advance to other branches of mathematics. Instruction in
plane and solid geometry, probability and statistics, and algebra (four units) provides the foundation students
need to enjoy success in future mathematics courses.

Students are provided sufficient opportunity to develop and maintain their skills while learning to work quickly
and accurately. Word problems and problem-solving strategies ensure that students can apply their
mathematical skills to everyday situations and encourage students to connect varying types of mathematical
knowledge.

Arts & Crafts

Students are encouraged to keep drawing and creating their own works of art. As they follow the step-by-step
format, students will be excited with their increase ability to draw. They will learn new art concepts such as two

point perspective and composition. In addition to using mixed media to create collages and three-dimensional
sculptures, students will use colored pencils and watercolor paints or markers. Students will also become
acquainted with different styles of art by studying the work of accomplished artists.

Science

This life science curriculum begins with the more complex plant world and human anatomy and physiology.
Evolutionary hypotheses are discussed and discarded as unscientific. Similarities between man and animals
are explored and proved to be the result of a common Designer, laying a Biblical foundation of origins.
A look at the complexity of the “simple” cell, the basis of all life, emphasizes the hand of the Creator in its
design. A study of ecology shows God’s providential design in the relationships between living things and their
environments.

Literature

Students will increase their understanding of the world, man, and God from a Christian perspective. Students
will gain exposure to people of different ages, nationalities, races, cultures, and economic levels to develop a
better understanding of people’s motives and feelings and to recognize the consequences of particular actions.
