Non-Dual Curriculum
Seven Peaks Academy will incorporate Gather 'Round Homeschool and Math-U-See as the main non-dual curriculum for high school.
Gather 'Round is an all inclusive Christian, unit study curriculum. It is open and go and includes every subject, except math, within each unit study. Students K-12 will follow the same unit study schedule allowing for family style learning at home. Additionally, the unit study structure allows high school students to jump in out of dual courses as needed throughout their high school career and eases the the complexity of mid-semester and mid-year high school transfers. This hands-on and engaging curriculum creates interest and a love for learning while developing strong research and study skills.
Math-U-See is a highly revered mastery math program praised by educators and tutors across all education and learning spectrums. With mastery at its focus, this program presents students with the opportunity to execute one lesson per week for a full year or two lessons per week for a semester. Video lessons are available for purchase with the curriculum, and assessments for placement are available on the website.
