Art, music, PE, chapel, band, library and computer skills classes supplement this curriculum. Bob Jones University Press and A Beka curricula along with some secular texts comprise the high school curriculum.

For students from kindergarten through sixth grade, the uniform consists of navy blue pants, shorts, skirts, or jumpers with white, pink, blue, or red polos or button-down shirts. Once students reach seventh grade, khaki pants, capris, skirts, or shorts may be worn.
