Tabernacle Christian School 2010 All Rights Reserved Powered By Dpp Productions TCS Core Curriculum ABeka www.abeka.com .  Three decades ago, God raised up A Beka Book to provide Christian schools with God-honoring, high-quality textbooks and teaching aids to help each school fulfill the goal of its ministry.  The hundreds of traditional Christian educational materials developed by A Beka Book have been developed and refined over a period of 50 years in the classrooms of Pensacola Christian Academy.  Christian schools throughout the nation recognize that A Beka Book sets the standard of excellence in publishing of textbooks and other materials for Christian schools. The founders of ABeka, as well as TCS, believe the purpose is:  to lead young people to Christ and train them in the Bible, Christian character, language, and traditional subject matter.  Today’s students need to be taught the accumulated wisdom of the past from God’s point of view and trained in the way they should go (Prov. 22:6)  so they will have a firm foundation from which to evaluate the present and make proper decisions for the future. Transforming Education Envision the potential of a Christ-filled education...                 The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) www.acsi.org  The Association of Christian Schools International strives to enable and equip Christian educators and schools worldwide to effectively educate children and young people with the mind of Christ.   Thus, students will be prepared for life because Christ, the creator and sustainer of the universe, possesses “all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:3).  The life and mind of Christ is nurtured in the lives of students through redemptive foundation of their work. To this end ACSI seeks to equip schools for greater effectiveness, year after year.   The many programs and services we offer are intended to enrich the teaching of Truth-God’s Word revealed through Scripture as well as through creation.   We seek to increase the vision for students’ intellectual development through Christian faculty who model a rigorous Christian mind in their teaching and leading.   We believe that schools can increasingly achieve their vibrant mission as their operational practices grow in excellence. The people of ACSI, in our Colorado Springs headquarters and the eighteen regional offices around the world, are eager to assist educator’s and schools in guiding their students to reach their full potential in Christ.   We desire to provide the tools necessary to rekindle vision, energize practices, and equip educators to achieve this goal.
