Gender-based Discipleship groups discuss Bible applications for living the Christian life—transferring from head knowledge to the heart. We seek transformation in the lives of our staff and students as they come together in an environment of love, acceptance and confidentiality to explore what Christ has to say about their lives and their values.

Computer Science: We believe that technology is a tool used to develop God-given talents, to expand students’ knowledge base, to increase their creativity, to develop communication skills, and to increase problem-solving and decision-making skills.  Technology enhances students’ skills for working on their personal interests, in the business world, in their churches and their community.

Fine Arts: We believe that drama and music is a gift gift from God used to magnify His name. Through performance, students learn to serve Christ, and the Christian community and family. Embracing a variety of theatrical and musical experiences, students demonstrate creativity, appreciation, and an expression of music. Through the participation of performance, and cultural and historical study, students develop a life-long love for drama and music and Christ.

Miami Valley Christian Academy's visual arts program is abased on the truth that God is the Master Artisit, and that creation is God's handiwork (Genesis 1:1). The program encourages students' appreciation of creation as having been made by our Creator, and encourages their taking an active role in creating art. Biblical concepts are integrated throughout the curriculum.

Foreign Language: Through the study of foreign languages, students appreciate the unlimited capabilities that God has given to all peoples for glorifying and serving Him. Students recognize that the body of Christ is made up of those who profess Christ, in all nations, all languages and all races. God originated languages (Gen. 11:1-9); knowing a foreign language empowers us to serve Him. Our obedience to the commands of the Lord requires going to people of all languages (Matt. 28:19, 20) and all nations and languages will be represented in heaven (Rev. 5:9, 7:9).

Health: Guided by a Christian perspective, health education students make informed decisions about personal, community, and global health issues. Students receive instruction in mental, physical, social, and spiritual health. They develop a general working knowledge of the concepts and vocabulary of each health area.

Students are encouraged and guided to develop positive self-esteem, accept themselves and others, to handle stress, to problem solve, and to exercise leadership. By learning about the human body, nutrition, exercise, and practicing physical activities, students embrace physical fitness as a life-long goal. Social health includes working out real situations with friends, family and peers. Spiritual health places Christ at the center of a Christian student’s life. Students are encouraged to make faith informed, responsible choices.

Language Arts: We believe that God has given us the unique gifts of oral and written communication. By being good stewards of these gifts, we glorify Him and communicate His truth. In a Christ-centered environment, students are given the opportunity and encouragement to develop personal excellence in reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. We seek to increase students’ potential for academic, social, physical, and spiritual growth. Ultimately, the language arts program strives to prepare students to live a Christ-like life.

Math: Guided with the belief that mathematics is not an end in itself but a means of placing in man’s hands a tool by which he can learn about, explain, and use the laws of operation of God’s creation. The language of mathematics helps students understand, develop and describe a sense of order and God’s providential care for his creation. Students learn mathematical reasoning by connecting God to mathematics through the Bible and through mathematical concepts.

Mathematics is rich in real-world problem solving, critical thinking, and critical analysis of information that encourages students to make connections among mathematical topics and other areas of study. Mathematics enables us to think with logic and reason.

Physical Education: Miami Valley Christian Academy’s Physical Education program encourages students to have a physically active lifestyle. The program and teaching faculty provide a fun and engaging environment that fosters individual potential, leadership, a positive attitude, and participation. Students grow in an understanding of rules (2 Timothy 2:5), safety, and strategies through games and activities.

Physical Education offers a unique opportunity where sportsmanship is paramount to developing the understanding and sensitivity needed to function in a diverse society. Above all, P.E. reflects the high value God places on human life and the preciousness of others. Each activity offers opportunities for spiritual growth where students are encouraged to explore how Christ would react to each situation.

Social Studies: We believe that social studies provide a record of God’s dealings with mankind and the physical world, past and present. By carefully examining the events and circumstances of our ancestors and their cultures, students gain the ability to apply lessons from the past to present situations and seek a better future.

We further believe that it is important to understand our country’s traditions thus cultivating a sense of patriotism. Good citizenship should be promoted as a vital part of each student’s heritage.  An investigation into the democratic process leads to feelings of civic duty and becoming productive citizens. A critical examination of America’s political and economical place on the domestic and foreign scene helps foster a sense of spiritual and humanitarian responsibility to the people of this and other nations.
