#3025 Bible 8
Course Fee:All VCMS students study the Bible daily in addition to Thursday morning Chapels, attending our annual retreat and spiritual emphasis events, weekly small groups and a Biblical integration approach in each subject.
Each student’s second period teacher is also their homeroom teacher and their Bible teacher. Students study the Bible on a daily basis directly from the Word of God. This year, we are pleased to announce a new Bible curriculum for our MS students from the same publisher as we used last year. 6th & 7th grades will be reading Route 66 which is an overview of all 66 books of the Bible. 8th grade will utilize the guide Godman, the life of Christ. In addition, the MS assignment planners have daily Bible verses and devotional thoughts that are utilized during Bible class.
