Alpha Omega LIFEPAC Curriculum

• Background

Summit Christian Academy has been a distributor of the Alpha Omega LIFEPAC curriculum since we were founded in l981. This curriculum was created over an eighteen month period by a dedicated team of 250 Christian academic writers, 146 of them holding masters’ degrees and 46 of them with their Ph.D. degrees in education. All writers had a minimum of five years teaching experience. These educators were commissioned to create and develop a curriculum that would be superior academically, as well as foster in students a love for learning. The entire curriculum has been revised with color added through grade ten during the past two years.

The five major subjects include Bible, Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies. In addition, there are several electives for the secondary students.

• The LIFEPAC System

The individual units of study in the Alpha Omega plan are called LIFEPACS. Ten LIFEPACS comprise a year’s study in any course. Each LIFEPAC booklet takes approximately three weeks to master.

LIFEPAC materials are determined by testing, not by traditional grades. Once students have been tested, they are placed properly in each subject according to their competency. Each student progresses from that point as they master each LIFEPAC sequence.

The program is centered on individual workbooks. Students work on their own, with reinforcement and review from the parent. The materials go beyond simple rote and recall by encouraging the student to grasp the abstract concepts behind each lesson.

• Christian Integration

The entire curriculum is Bible-based with an emphasis on Christian values.

Spiritual truths are skillfully woven throughout the lessons so students have Christian principles reinforced with the Math or English skills being taught in the lesson.

Controversial theology or individual denominational doctrines are studiously avoided. The emphasis is on the overriding Christian themes and values that are present in all denominations.
