Abeka High School Bible Curriculum (9-12)

Description

Let's talk Bible and application! Throughout the Abeka Bible program for high school, students are learning about scripture and biblical times and also how to apply such an ancient text to their lives today. Each course has a non-consumable Student Textbook that students will read through. In Abeka's classic spiral approach, Grades 9 & 10 lays a biblical foundation with a year-long look at the Kings of Israel and the Old Testament, and then a year-long look at Bible Doctrines and emulating a disciple of Christ-like lifestyle. Grades 11 & 12 offer a number of semester courses: Life Management, Jesus and His Followers, Genesis: First Things, and Book of the Revelation. The lessons each take approximately 30 minutes and are designed to be done 4-days a week. The Teacher Edition book is a full text and will outline the curriculums schedule for the year. These plans incorporate suggested hymns to sing, memory verses to study, and clarify which lessons you are teaching. While not scripted, the instruction is very thorough and will be an added benefit to structure your time while studying the Bible.

Each course has a midterm and final exam, plus additional quizzes. All this material is located in the Student Quiz and Test Book. The test booklet provides your tests, review worksheets, test schedules, and grading rubric. The Quiz and Test Key provides all the answers to the unit's quizzes, test, and exams. ~Rebecca
