Grades 1-5 Curriculum
Curriculum Policy
It is our belief that all truth is God’s truth. Thus, the Christian makes no distinction between the truth of the sacred and secular. Truth is part of the very nature of God; indeed, the Lord Jesus said, “I am the truth . . .” (John 14:6). So, in our selection of textbooks, we are looking for the most appropriate for our school, whether they be sacred or secular.
We see the role of the teacher to be the primary source of integrating faith and learning through: Devotions and Bible class, teachable moments, planned additions to the curriculum.
Standards for MHCS Curriculum:
That the language and content be supportive of the Christian faith.
That the academic quality of the curriculum be superior.
