- Mathematics 7 (MA7)
God is the Master Mathematician and as such, He has created us with the capacity to quantify and qualify. Numbers let us say how much we know, while their endlessness shows how little we know.

This continuous review program allows students to experience and re-experience math. BC Math and Accelerated Christian Education (12 PACEs ) curriculum is used.
