Our Curriculum

Providence Christian School offers a cohesive, two‑tier curriculum model that combines the best of print‑based and online learning, all delivered within our on-site classrooms by our dedicated teachers. For Kindergarten through 2nd grade, we use BJU Press’s premium print‑based curriculum in a traditional classroom setting, which includes comprehensive textbooks and workbooks, supplemental video instruction, detailed daily lesson guides, monthly progress emails, and quarterly report cards. For grades 3–12, we partner with Enlightium Academy to deliver the Ignitia platform—an interactive online curriculum rich with multimedia, games, and over 100 electives—while our teachers guide students through each lesson in person, leveraging real‑time feedback, automatic grading, and built‑in messaging and live sessions to foster a supportive classroom environment.

Automatic Grading & Real‑Time Feedback: Lessons and quizzes are auto‑graded, with immediate solution access and real‑time performance data—teachers use these insights to address gaps and celebrate progress.
Mastery‑Based Learning: Students have two attempts per lesson or quiz to reach proficiency. Detailed feedback shows which answers were correct or incorrect, and students can submit explanations for corrections to earn partial credit. Alternate tests are available if technical issues arise

Flexibility & Accessibility:

Anytime, Anywhere Access: Ignitia is available online 24/7 during the school year—students log in with a username and password, and lessons can be printed for offline completion when needed.
Seamless Hybrid Model: By integrating the online platform with in‑person teaching, Providence Christian School ensures that students benefit from both technological innovation and direct teacher support, creating a balanced, engaging educational experience.
