Lower School
The Lower School campus hosts students in grades Pre-K through 5th. The faculty teach students in a variety of disciplines such as science, math, English and literature, history, and Bible study. Additional course offerings are available, such as art, physical education, music, and Spanish.
At the "tech-lab," students in grades 2 through 5 are taught basic computer skills necessary for high school and middle school, such as Powerpoint presentations and project research. Students are exposed to computers and the Internet in a monitored environment.
Every Thursday, in addition to the daily scheduled activities, the schools hold a chapel service. A speaker delivers a message to the students about a Bible lesson, and often presents an entertaining skit or event or demonstration to keep the children's attention.
Macon
The Macon campus includes the middle school and upper school campuses. Although they are on the same grounds, the middle school and high school students are taught in separate buildings; they also have separate principals, teachers, and lunch times. The middle school grades consist of grades 6 through 8. These students are taught math, science, Bible, geography, English, literature, and many other subjects.
