Curriculum

The course of study at Vidalia Heritage Academy is designed for the scholastic preparation of students by the acquisition of Biblical Truth and academic excellence.  The following subjects constitute the Core Curriculum:

Bible/Theology, Language Arts (Reading, Phonics, Spelling, Classical Vocabulary, English, Penmanship), Mathematics, Science, History, Physical Education,

Ancient Language (Latin and Greek), and Sign Language.

Our Performing Arts Curriculum will provide studies in Music, Art, and Drama, all of which will be used to prepare our students to present two major performances for the community each year.  We believe this experience prepares students to serve more effectively in the student ministries in their respective churches, and in their communities at large.  In addition, the School of Music, a separate curriculum at the end of the school day (please see the Tuition and Payment information), provides students the opportunity to acquire private vocal and instrumental lessons from a distinctively Christian perspective (in a safe and secure location), thus preparing them to serve the Lord for a lifetime with their talents.

Christianity cannot be compartmentalized and taken out for church on Sundays.  It must be central to our every thought and action.  Every class at Vidalia Heritage Academy is taught from a distinctively Christian perspective by teachers committed to both the Lord and academic success.  As our students learn to view everything from a coherent, biblically grounded system of thought, they are able to grow both spiritually and academically. 

We live in a world where people have difficulty thinking that God is ultimately in control of all things.  Since we believe that there is only one Truth and only one Standard by which everything should be measured, a biblical worldview is central to every subject we teach, every problem we face, and every decision we make.  Therefore the selection of curriculum for use at Vidalia Heritage Academy falls within the following seven criteria:

                1.        Theological Presuppositions
