Curriculum
Much of
Kardia Learning Center's curricula are provided by Alethia (ALC), authored by
Mr. Rick Patton. Founder and director of ALC since 1989, Mr. Patton has worked
as a teacher and administrator in both public and Christian schools. ALC's study
guides are used for history and composition, Latin, elementary science,
Christian World View, and Rhetoric.The writing programs for middle school and
high school age students include correction and evaluation of History, Rhetoric and Christian
World View writing assignments. The teacher of these classes will collect,
evaluate, comment, and return assignments to the students. Our goal is to
encourage every student to develop a love for writing, and to fine tune their
writing skills in preparation for college or career.
History, Composition &
Literature
Four-Year Rotation
Kardia's study rotation repeats after year four, allowing the student to study
each time period at various points in their academic development. Also, this
arrangement eases the parents' difficult task of teaching multiple grade levels
in the home simultaneously.
