 |
Curriculum and Textbooks: Textbooks from major educational publishers for reading, math, English, spelling, science and social studies form the basis for academic planning. Because Aletheia is a Christian school, Bible class is an important part of the daily program. Classes in physical education, art, music, Spanish and computers are also offered. Computers are available in classrooms at all grade levels and in the computer lab. |
 |
Teachers: Aletheia teachers are required to have at least a Baccalaureate degree and experience working with children. A major consideration is that they see their teaching as a service of love. Substitute teachers may or may not have degrees. |
 |
Lunch:The Seasons Pizza Restaurant and Chick-fil-a will be catering daily lunch items this year. Thursdays will be 'pizza' day with individual slices available for $1.50. A special single menu item will be available each of the other week-day lunches, such as sub sandwiches, spaghetti, a chicken entree, etc. These will cost $3.50 each. Students should pack items to supplement the single purchased item or bring a complete packed lunch if they do not wish to purchase at all. Milk and bottled water will be available to buy. $20.00 lunch tickets may also be purchased. |

Bus Service: Bus service is available in parts of New Castle County. New riders are accepted on existing routes as space becomes available. A monthly fee is charged for this service. |
