CURRICULUM AND TUITION
CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
At Skills Connect Academy, we believe in teaching the whole child—academically, socially, and spiritually. Our curriculum is carefully developed by pulling from The Good and The Beautiful, Easy Peasy, and TEKS standards to ensure students receive a strong foundation in the core subjects: math, reading, writing, science, and social studies.
We go beyond academics by teaching creativity, social skills, and building a foundation on Christ. Each day begins with Bible class, prayer, and scripture reading, followed by hands-on learning activities like arts and crafts, home economics, and workout sessions to promote health and balance.
Parents will receive a detailed weekly schedule of lessons and activities. Some Fridays may be reserved for fun field trips or engaging online activities, but all classes M,W,F will be in-person unless otherwise instructed.
Program Details:
- Cost: $100 per week

Virtual learning Tuesday and Thursday.
- Workshops: Additional fee applies-learning experiences that inspire excellence and honor God. By connecting learners of all ages with the skills they need to succeed academically, professionally, and spiritually, we cultivate both confidence and a lifelong love for learning.
