The Rock Academy, in accordance with FCCPSA, requires two credits in Bible in order to graduate from high school. Because there are no state standards concerning Bible education, parents are free to choose from a wide variety of resources. There are many Bible programs provided from reputable publishers, and all courses for high school credit must be approved by the TRA Guidance Department.
High school credit is earned from content and number of hours. For self-directed studies, students must document the hours they spend working on the course and the content covered. To earn 1/2 credit, students must put in 75 hours of work, and content can be documented by providing an overview of the course, topics covered, and any assessments taken.
Suggested course options include: Alpha Omega Bible 10 (an Old Testament Survey covering Creation through Captivity & Restoration; completing all 10 Lifepac workbooks earns 1.0 high school credit), PACE Bible Christian Growth (designed to help students understand themselves better, evaluate their relationship and service to Christ, and grow into a stronger faith), Alpha Omega Christian Life (Biblical concepts that apply to living a Christian life; completing all 10 Lifepac workbooks earns 1.0 high school credit), free online Bible courses from CBN, and Teach Yourself the Bible self-study courses covering all the books of the New Testament.
Church Courses: your home church may be a great resource for Biblical instruction. To count toward high school graduation, students must provide an overview and details of the course including the teacher and the number of hours spent.
