Academics
Flint Hills Christian School at Green is committed to
providing excellence in academics with a conservative,
Bible-based orientation. Student instruction focuses on the
basics: language arts, science, math, and social studies.
FHCS at Green strives to use the highest quality curriculum
available that is consistent with God’s Word. Our
goal is an educationally excellent and thoroughly biblical
curriculum. In addition, FHCS at Green offers opportunities
that include computer instruction, foreign language, visual
art, music, and orchestra. FHCS is seeking accreditation
through the Association of Christian Schools International.
While high quality curriculum is important, the Bible that
remains the constant priority at FHCS at Green. The Bible
and its principles are integrated into every academic
discipline. A part of student life for all grades includes
daily Bible classes, weekly memory verses, and chapel
services.
FHCS at Green selects curriculum based on the
school’s mission, philosophy, and goals. For the most
part, our curricula is from Christian publishers: A Beka
and ACSI; however, we research available materials to
determine what will best accomplish our goals. Alpha Omega
curriculum will be used for grades seventh through twelfth
grades beginning with the 2010-2011 academic year. A
Curriculum Committee authorized and approved by the Board
makes curriculum decisions.
Orchestra, Music, and Art
Flint Hills Christian
School at Green recognizes the importance of a well rounded
education, including the arts. Visual art, general music,
and orchestra classes are taught by highly qualified
teachers, and are held weekly for both full-time students
and part-time students.
