Scope & Sequence by Grade Level
At Brentwood Baptist Christian Academy, we believe that strong communication between school and home is essential for student success. For this reason, we provide a detailed Scope and Sequence for each grade level to help parents understand what their child will be learning throughout the school year.
These outlines highlight key academic goals, skills, and subject areas for each grade and reflect our use of the Abeka curriculum from K3 through Elementary. We encourage parents to regularly review their child’s Scope and Sequence to stay informed, support learning at home, and partner with us in their child’s academic and spiritual growth.
By working together, we can ensure that each student is well-prepared, confident, and equipped to reach their full potential.
