Students in grades 9 - 12 at Prestonwood Christian Academy are required to study one subject in each of the core areas each year: English, mathematics, science, history, and Bible.
Two years of foreign language, one year of both arts and technology, and one semester each of health and speech are required for graduation. Physical Education or participation in athletics is required for at least one and one-half years.
Honors courses are available in English, mathematics, science, history, and foreign language, and students are selected for these courses on the basis of their intellectual curiosity, proficiency, and willingness to study independently. In addition, Advanced Placement courses are available in English, history, mathematics, science, and art.
At Prestonwood Christian Academy, there is a directed and determined effort to encourage and motivate each student to perform at as high a level as the student can manage. Students participate in the process of choosing their courses, with their opinions and desires assuming a progressively larger role as they near completion of the Upper School years; however, parents are allowed to make the final choice each year as to acceptance or rejection of the selected curriculum.

If you are interested in purchasing a set of the books for your student, you will need to order them from the publishers directly. We have listed the titles, publishers and ISBN numbers for the textbooks per subject. If you wish to save some money, call the used book sellers first to see if they have the copies in stock and then if you cannot obtain a copy through them call the publisher directly. You will need to have a credit card number ready for your purchase. The books can be sent directly to your home.
If you have questions: contact the Senior Director of Curriculum & Instruction, Gwen Hobbs ghobbs@prestonwoodchristian.org.
