Bible Curriculum
The Bible is the foundation of the Christian faith. Therefore, at ULCS, the Bible is a vital part of our community and curriculum. We want to foster an environment that allows honest interaction with Scripture that encourages questioning and seeking truth in the context of a relationship with Jesus Christ. We also want to impart the tools that will help guide today’s youth through tomorrow’s challenges.
High School Math Curriculum
Mathematics is taught each year by spiraling through previously taught concepts and then expanding on them. This allows students to strengthen past knowledge, before continuing on through new concepts. In math, our students work through abstract problems, as well as solving word problems. Problem-solving techniques in word problems allow students to see real-world examples of mathematics, and to prepare them for college entrance examinations. AP Calculus is offered to interested students.
High School English Curriculum
In English—whether we are memorizing vocabulary, crafting essays, or analyzing literature—we are part of a God-blessed process. When we work with words, we take part in the medium God used to speak His creation into being, the beautiful gift He fashioned to convey ideas and give life to dreams. God, Himself, modeled the most excellent, accurate, and uplifting communication and placed a high priority on preserving words in written form. Therefore, we derive our standards of excellence in all genres from the Bible as we aim to prepare students for higher level thinking and communication skills. In addition, we are privileged to offer Dual Credit English through Davis College. This enables our high school seniors to earn college credits right here on our ULCS campus.
High School Science Curriculum
The mission of the Science Department is to glorify God by providing a Christ-centered science education under the authority of God’s Word. We will see science in the framework of a biblical worldview. In learning science, students will understand and apply scientific concepts, principles, and theories pertaining to the physical setting and living environments. AP and honors science courses are available.
High School History
In social studies we investigate the development of the human community by studying geography, history, economics, politics, and anthropology. In our exploration we discover the brokenness of many ideologies and institutions and consider biblical alternatives to cultural, institutional, and national development.
Foreign Language: Spanish
The study of a world language leads students to develop an appreciation for the richness of other cultures, the intricacies of verbal and written communication, and, by contrast, the peculiarities of our own culture and language system. We offer two years of Spanish.
