Bible Curriculum

The King's Academy uses scripture as the foundation for all Bible classes. Each student will study a Bible curriculum. Students attending TKA come from over 50 different local churches.

The staff represents over 30 different churches. If a question that reflects a denominational difference arises, the staff will answer the question in line with the literal interpretation of the scripture and then encourage the student to talk to their parent or pastor.

In keeping with scripture that teaches us to hide God's Word in our hearts that we might not sin against Him, scripture memorization is an important aspect of the training at TKA. Each week, the students are required to memorize a scripture. Parents are encouraged to review the scripture with their child. Weekly scriptures can be found on the TKA Weekly Sheet and the web site.
