A day at school for T-W-Th students will begin with prayer, pledge of allegiance, and a bible lesson in the Student Center. The focus on T-W-Th is core academics. Teachers will teach on the three days and allow students time in class to work on their lessons. The goal is to accomplish all work for the week on T-W-Th at school. Students that do not complete work at school may have homework in the evening. Math and reading assignments will most likely require some additional work. All homework is due the following day of school. Most students will have at least one-one hour study hall during the school day, depending on their course load.
