We have been extremely blessed and fortunate to use the Christian based A Beka Book curriculum. For years now, we at Calvary Christian Academy Preschool have found A Beka’s teachings to be excellent and our families have enjoyed and seen the fruit of this curriculum. Thousands of Christian schools around the world successfully use the A Beka Book curriculums, which are based on sound scholarship, common sense, and the Word of God. The following are the books used in each of the preschool classrooms:
