Independent Study Homeschool Tutoring Program
|
ICCA is a California Private School specializing in independent study using the finest individualized Christian curriculum materials available. Our graduates continue to achieve success in college and careers!
ICCA curriculum is accredited by the National Association of Private Schools (NAPS). We have been a K-12 Home School Tutoring / Instructor Program since 1999 with parent-supervised correspondence work using printed work-texts,Alpha Omega Publications (LIFEPAC).
Semester scheduled appointments are developed according to Student needs.
We believe Alpha Omega Publications represents
the future direction of Christian education. Personalized
instruction means recognizing the uniqueness of each student. God has made every individual different, and each student brings
to school a unique combination of abilities, background, and motivations that affect the way he learns.
A.O.P. has its roots in the early movement toward
personalized Christian curriculum. Alpha Omega began in 1977
when a group of developers who were experienced in individualized learning came together to publish curriculum that placed
an emphasis on critical thinking skills. They called their new curriculum “LIFEPACs,”
“Learning Individually for Excellence Promotes
Academic Confidence”. A complete curriculum, grades k-12, are published in five subject
areas: Bible, language arts, mathematics, history/geography, and science. Various electives
were also added.
A.O.P. emphasizes thinking skills. This alone sets Alpha Omega apart from its predecessor. Instead
of relying solely on repetitive read-and-fill-in-the-blank activities and memorization of answers, the LIFEPACs require students
to use reasoning skills. One way is using teacher-graded questions for which there is no pat answer.
Responding with sentences or paragraphs requires students to manipulate facts and concepts mentally to generate sensible
answers — in other words, to practice higher-order thinking skills. Having a qualified
Instructor thus becomes more important than with other programs.
A.O.P. has a more up-to-date scope and sequence. Without sacrificing Biblical truth, Alpha Omega
has worked to align its curriculum with state and national standards so that Christian students will not be at a disadvantage
in comparison with their public school peers.
A.O.P. provides twelve full grade levels of Bible
courses. Stressing the authority of Scripture and historic
Christian doctrine, without promoting a specific denomination, these courses bring students face-to-face with God’s
claims upon their lives.
