MHA Curriculum Overview
One of the most distictive things about a classical, Christian school is the curriculum. At Mars Hill Academy we use the classical methodology of education, described by some as the Trivium, and we use it to teach all subjects from a thoroughly Christian perspective. In addition to requiring that all students complete the Bible classes offered at every grade level, we incorporate a Biblical worldview into all courses. The entire curriculum is described in the MHA Curriculum Guide. The tables below offer shortcuts to all course descriptions by grade and by subject. The course summaries at the bottom of this page correspond to the courses listed in the Graduation Requirements.
