Academics

A college-preparatory program from K-4 through twelfth grade, taught from a Christ-centered worldview.

Curriculum

Built on A Beka Book.


State Line Christian School uses the A Beka Book curriculum, which makes available the accumulated wisdom of years of experience by Christian educators in Christian schools. The Christian approach to education — and to life in general — is woven throughout it.

The A Beka Book curriculum is based upon sound precepts, common sense, and the Word of God. It ensures that students will be taught new material at each grade level and that there will be sufficient review of material.

College preparatory. A student’s core classes are chosen for him, and each student receives four years of English, math and science. State Line has been successful in preparing its students, with 90% of graduates going on to pursue college.

Grade by Grade

What each year looks like.


It is during a young person’s teenage years that he faces many life choices. Our goal is to develop Christian leaders by teaching every subject from a Christ-centered worldview.

K-4 Readiness

Our K-4 classes are designed to provide a happy learning atmosphere where our teachers can lovingly meet each child’s personal needs. We offer both morning and afternoon classes to fit with your schedule. Students learn phonics-based reading, numbers, writing, music and art — and over 90% of our four-year-old students are able to read by the end of the year.

Educational field trips

While classroom instruction is important, students have many opportunities to learn through hands-on experiences. Starting in kindergarten, our students take educational field trips to develop interests throughout their younger years. The junior and senior classes take special annual field trips to the Creation Museum in Petersburg, KY and the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, IL.
