High School Bible Curriculum

The high school Bible curriculum builds upon middle school curriculum with the ultimate goal of nurturing a student’s relationship with Christ and preparing the student spiritually for success on a college campus.  In high school, class schedules vary considerably due to differing needs and interests of students.  Students may schedule courses based upon their individual scheduling needs; however, we request that they take the courses in the following order: 

Doctrine – Know What You Believe

This Bible course examines the fundamental beliefs of the Christian faith.  This course emphasizes those foundational beliefs that are commonly shared among all evangelicals with opportunities provided for each student to explore the specific traditions of their own churches.  The doctrines of God, Christ, the Bible, humanity, sin, the Holy Spirit, salvation, and the church outline the content of this course.

Worldview

Students in this one semester course evaluate and trace the major worldviews of theism, deism, naturalism, nihilism, existentialism, pantheism and postmodernism.  Students learn the basic questions that define a worldview and evaluate the worldviews from these important questions.  Worldview is an important course to prepare students to more fully understand the Christian faith, defend their faith against opposing worldviews and witness to others with differing worldviews. The standard of God’s truth is emphasized.

Biblical Focus in Literary and English Studies
 
Students in the course will evaluate God’s truth and character.  They will explore universal truths regarding mankind’s struggles and search for meaning. The validity of a biblical worldview will also be examined.  The course will enable students to live biblically, think critically, dialogue intelligently, and serve compassionately in today’s world.  Students will compare philosophies found in literature with God’s truth found in scripture.  This course will require students to practice critical reading and thinking skills and gain a deeper understanding of God’s truth.  Course work will enable students to acknowledge that literature is a reflection of the heart and souls of individual men, their philosophies, and the philosophies of the society during that time period.
 
Biblical Financial Literacy – A Biblical Perspective of Finances

Since very few individuals in life will be able to afford everything they might want, it is important that each of us be able to maximize our ability to save, give prudently, invest for later needs, and purchase wisely for current expenses.  In our Personal Finance class we will be utilizing the Financial Peace workbook of Dave Ramsey, watching the corresponding DVD’s, and discussing relevant concepts. We will also be using additional hands-on activities and supplementing those with Jr. Achievement and basic economics materials. Outside speakers will also be recruited when possible to talk to the class about insurance, real estate, handling credit, etc. This course is founded on Scripture with all topics taught from a Biblical perspective. This course includes the fourteen objectives required by the Passport to Financial Literacy Act of 2007 (70 O.S. § 11-103.6h). 

Apologetics

This course systematically examines a rational defense of the basic elements of the Christian faith including the existence of God, reliability of the Bible, claims of Christ and the historicity of the resurrection.  The student is exposed to the various religious, historical and scientific attacks that have typically been leveled at the Bible and Christianity.  An overview of world religions and cults is included.  The goal of this course is to prepare students to defend their faith against opposing world views and arguments.  This course is meant to give students a firm foundation as they leave Metro and enter higher education programs. 

Metro Christian Academy retains a strong college preparatory curriculum for grades 9 - 12, offering fifteen Advanced Placement Courses in addition to a wide variety of general curriculum and academic electives.
