A Sneak Peek at FWCA
Our high school students experience an independent academic environment provided through A Beka's DVD program. Courses are delivered by master teachers of A Beka Academy out of Pensacola, Florida via DVD or streaming video online. Students are provided with all books and materials needed for every course. We are hoping to add laptops to our in-class experience by the end of the first six week period. In addition, classroom teachers are available to assist students as needed. Teachers work as facilitators to manage day-to-day lesson completion, reviews, remediation, and reteaching. Teachers also oversee all graded assignments and maintain current information regarding students' progress on TeacherEase. Upon completion of the state-mandated requirements for high school graduation, our students are eligible to apply for federal financial aid for college, qualify for TOPS, apply for scholarships, and apply for admission into any college or university. Our pre-k program is funded through the Nonpublic Schools Early Childhood Development (NSECD) Progra
m. The program follows the state-mandated Comprehensive Curriculum that incorporates research-based, developmentally appropriate methods to prepare students for entry into kindergarten. In addition to teacher-directed lessons, students engage in center-based experiences that stimulate learning through doing. After our fall state evaluations in 2010, Mrs. Deana Rideaux, our lead pre-k teacher, was invited to share as a presenter at the 2011 State Pre-k Conference in Baton Rouge. This honor was a result of her outstanding classroom performance and innovative ideas. Both of our pre-k classes received an excellent rating by the state evaluator in the fall and spring evaluations. The NSECD program at Family Worship provides a life-changing experience for both our students and our staff!
