CURRICULUM

Mountainview’s curriculum is based on an American system with a Christian foundation, an intentional integration of the biblical worldview within all content areas, and uses materials from both Christian and secular publishers. The United States’ Common Core State Standards are used to guide learning objectives in English / Language Arts and Mathematics. The Next Generation Science Standards contain the learning objectives for science courses. The framework for social studies’ learning objectives is based on the Aero Social Studies Standards. In addition to the core curriculum of English, Math, Science, Social Studies and the Bible, we offer fine arts, physical education, computer and various elective classes to broaden our students’ knowledge and experience.  

The academic program is organized on a rotating block schedule. Students take six 85-minute block classes and two 50-minute classes. Students attend three block classes and the regular class daily. Block classes are year-long; each block class meets every other day. Block scheduling was instituted in 2012.

One of our “distinctives” at Mountainview states that we will always seek to prepare students for entry into English-instruction higher educational systems. 
 

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) PROGRAM

AP Calculus AB is open to qualifying juniors and seniors. AP English Language and Composition and AP English Literature is open to our 11-12 graders as well as AP Chemistry and AP Biology.
