Abeka’s proven approach to teaching helps teachers teach and students learn.
It begins with our traditional philosophy of education. This teacher-directed framework empowers teachers to focus students’ attention on the material they need to learn—in a context and sequence that will help them learn it best.
As students begin to grasp what’s being taught, newly acquired concepts and skills are fortified time and again using a method often referred to as spiral learning.
Finally, students’ growing mastery of subject matter is strengthened because of the comprehensive design of our curriculum. Material taught in one subject is reinforced in other subjects. At every step of the way, students learn, apply, and master new concepts and skills.
Since education shouldn’t end with a diploma, Abeka gives students a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning. We make it easy so you can make it amazing.
What will students learn with Abeka? What kind of people will they become? Leading your children or your students down the path toward academic excellence and Christian character isn’t easy, but it will always be worth it. We're here to help.
Our aim is for each student—either at home or in a Christian school classroom—to grow intellectually, morally, and spiritually.
In 1954, Dr. Arlin Horton and his wife, Beka, started a Christian school in Pensacola, Florida. But they soon discovered a problem. Textbooks and curriculum based on biblical educational philosophy were starting to disappear. Burdened to give their students the best education possible, they stood in the gap and began producing their own materials. When administrators and teachers from other Christian schools saw how these materials could help their students and asked if they could buy these materials, A Beka Book was born.
Even with proven materials, teaching still takes time, commitment, and skill. To help growing Christian schools and homeschool families, A Beka Academy video instruction from the master teachers of Pensacola Christian Academy began in 1985.
In 2014, digital textbooks, art, teaching aids, and assessments were introduced to enhance learning and save time in the classroom and at home.
In 2017, A Beka Book became Abeka, and all Abeka products—including Abeka Academy—became available at abeka.com.
What started with phonics-based readers and traditional arithmetic textbooks has now grown to comprise over 1,000 educational products from nursery through 12th grade—all written by educators with real teaching experience. Today, Abeka continues to partner with school teachers and homeschooling parents to help provide an excellent education from a Christian perspective.
Our mission is to support and equip students, teachers, and parents by providing amazing Pre-K through Grade 12 academic resources based upon biblical values.
You want methods and materials that work. That’s what you’ll find with Abeka—comprehensive, quality curriculum and materials written from a Christian perspective. Now more than ever, each child needs a strong foundation in both academics and character.
