3.5 Discovery ProgramDiscovery is a one-on-one educational therapy program that makes a neurological change in the brain. Discovery is not a tutorial approach. Discovery uses brain stimulation techniques to strengthen areas of weakness just like “pumping iron” exercises can strengthen muscles in the body. The therapists are trained by the National Institute for Learning Disabilities (NILD) under whose auspices the RBCS Discovery Program has existed since its beginning in AY 1991/92. The goal of Discovery is to equip students with the necessary skills to respond to God’s calling. Perceptual and cognitive deficits, rather than remaining liabilities, become opportunities to develop godly character when a person has the benefit of three or more years of educational therapy. Educational therapy is an intense, long term, integrative focus on deficit stimulation which provides the student and his parents a method of moving toward independence. As the therapist, student, and parents cooperate in this non-tutorial approach, the individual therapy is given that overcomes the student’s deficits so that his true intelligence is freed to be used for God’s glory! 3.6 Home School Assistance ProgramThe Home Study Assistance Program (HSAP) is designed to help parents provide a Christ centered education for children taught in the home, grades K-12. Students usually are instructed by one or both parents. RBCS helps parents design and obtain necessary CURRICULUM GUIDES and materials. Addi tionally, RBCS provides counseling and testing services, maintains a Cumulative Student Record (CSR) with quarterly posting of grades, and can grant access to campus classroom and athletic activities accor ding to their availability and the particular desires of the family. Every effort is made by RBCS to maintain an effective working relationship with the parents to achieve a quality education for students not attending as full time students. Parents can request home study assistance by submitting a HOME STUDY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM APPLICATION FORM, the current application fee, and any existing Cumu lative Student Record (CSR) for each student. An annual tuition is charged per child. All books and supplies are to be paid for upon receipt, to include any shipping charges. Quar terly grades must be provided to RBCS. Out of state parents are required to test each child according to directions and send the results to RBCS. Out of local area parents, within the state of Florida, must supply the name of a certified teacher to administer the test. The test will be mailed to the teacher and, after testing, the teacher will mail it back to RBCS. Upon receipt of testing materials, tests will be graded and evalu ated by the HSAP Coordinator for proper placement. The Coordinator will then outline the curriculum needed for each child. Complete HSAP information and current financial requirements are available upon request. 4.0 Academic Program4.1 Report Cards and Grading PeriodsThe Academy has four, nine-week grading periods. Each quarter normally consists of 45 academic school days. Two quarters or 90 days equals one semester. The semester report card becomes apart of the student’s cumulative records. In order to inform parents concerning their child’s grades, mid-term progress reports will be sent home at mid-term of each quarter, the fourth week of each quarter. Every student will receive a cumulative semester average progress report with a grade in every subject and the number of absences and tardies for the quarter. 4.2 Grading ScaleA 90 – 100 B 80 – 89 C 75 – 79 D 70 – 74 F 0 – 69 4.3 Achievement Tests4.3.1 Stanford Achievement TestsThe Academy, in conjunction with FACCS and the Psychological Corporation, gives the Stanford Achievement Test each spring.

Academy 12th grade students are encouraged to take at least two SATs beginning in the fall of their senior year. Parents/students must register and pay for both tests. Optimal scores are imperative for competitive and selective college admissions and most scholarships. 4.4 CurriculumSee Appendix B for a list of textbooks used in the Academy. 4.4.1 BibleStudents in grades 7-10 study through the Bible chronologically, verse-by-verse, using Treasures Old and New: Reading through the Scriptures as One Story and ESV Study Bible. Students will start in Old Testament 1 (Genesis-2 Kings 14) and should follow the sequence of Old Testament 2 (2 Kings 15-Malachi [excluding wisdom literature]), New Testament, and Old Testament 3 (Wisdom Literature, i.e. Psalms, Proverbs, etc.). Each student should purchase his or her own copy of the ESV Study Bible (Crossway 2008). Daily Bible reading journals help students develop the skills and life habit of studying God’s word faithfully. Each day students read an assigned passage and answer questions in their journals to prepare for class discussion the following day. Journal entries are graded as follows:
Students may submit late journal entries for up to 50%. After completing the Treasures Old and New series students will then enter into more advanced courses which could include courses such as: Romans & Theology, Apologetics, etc. The Bible Journals and grading system for these courses are outlined in each course syllabus. In all Bible classes sermon notes are required. Taking notes in church encourages students to listen attentively in church each week. The goal is to develop students to be active participants in worship allowing them to listen and engage in worship services in a way that challenges to think over the Word as it is spoken to them by their pastors. Students submit sermon notes each Monday for a daily Bible journal grade. Students should also submit chapel notes for a daily Bible journal grade. 4.4.2 MathematicsAcademy Math classes use the Saxon Math series and Dave Ramsey Financial Peace series. 4.4.3 EnglishAcademy English classes use the A BEKA grammar series, BJU Press, Educators Publishing Service and Shurley English Publications. 4.4.4 LiteratureAcademy Literature classes use the Bob Jones Literature series, Educators Publishing Service, and A Beka series.
