CURRICULUM STATEMENT

Greater Destiny Prep Academy offers great opportunities for learning. Our classes are small enough to manage. Our academic training, which is Christ-centered, includes a phonics-oriented reading program, English, History, Spelling, Science, Penmanship, Math, Literature, P.E., ESL, etc. Our primary texts are published by ABeka Books which we have found to be one of the best. However, because of our commitment to excellence, we will remain open to examine and use other material that may better enrich our students.

WHAT WE OFFER

GDPA offers 3 Personalized Education Plans (PEP) for our students (Academic, Athletic, and Vocational). Parents and Students decide which PEP is the best fit for them to achieve their personal goals. In addition to the PEP, our students are required to complete the same basic core classes (English, Science, Social Studies, Math) needed for graduation at any public high school.
