Elementary Curriculum

Genoa Christian Academy filters all learning and curriculum through a biblical world-view.  GCA elementary students (K-5) use current curriculum that meet the Ohio Department of Education’s content standards while incorporating a biblical truth in each of our classes.

• Our math curriculum is Envision Math.  Students use manipulatives, math games, and interactive whiteboard lessons to reinforce concepts.
• We use Pearson Scott Foresman “Reading Street” curriculum.  This curriculum helps students excel in their reading comprehension, fluency, writing, spelling and vocabulary.  Small guided reading groups are differentiated so every child can be challenged in his/her school environment.
• Our early elementary students (K-3) use the Abeka curriculum for science.  Our intermediate elementary students (4-5) use Concordia.  Through hands-on activities, reading, discussions and experiments, students grasp important science concepts and begin to understand the need for critical thinking.
• For Social Studies, our students use MacMillian/McGraw-Hill.  Students discover the History of America and the State of Ohio.  Emphasis is also placed on learning United States and international geography.
• In bible, our students immerse themselves in God’s Holy Word in partnership with ACSI’s bible curriculum.

At GCA it is our goal to educate minds for an ever-changing world while shepherding hearts for eternity.
