What We Offer
Here at Mission III Academy, we offer a hybrid approach to education where the teachers and parents work together to train up children intellectually and spiritually in cooperation with God's Mission to Love Him, Love Others and Serve Both, building a community of believers who are building the family by building the student.
​
We recognize that Jesus consistently sought out the overlooked and underprivileged while he lived here on earth in human form, so we too want to provide an opportunity that all families can afford which is why we pursue mission funding from churches, believers, businesses, and others to offset costs. This enables families to become part of the Mission III Family with an annual tuition rate of $550 per student by early enrollment and $650 after the early enrollment deadline of April 1.
Kindergarten-2nd
Our K-2 program utilizes Abeka as the core curriculum with Generations.org as a supplemental resource. Students meet one day a week on Mondays at Little Prairie Christian Church with Mrs. Shannon Messerly who formerly taught Kindergarten at Full Armor. Our main goal during the in-person instruction is to develop strong reading, writing, and math skills. Students will continue working throughout the week with parents, completing various tasks as directed by Ms. Shannon. MIIIA provides regular assessments and all academic record-keeping.
3rd-12th Grade
Our 3rd-8th grade students utilize Ignitia by Alpha and Omega for the majority of their coursework with Dive Into Math or Nicole the Math Lady as the primary programs for Mathematics. High school students move into coursework developed by Ms. Lesa for History/English and other additional curriculum options, including Summit Bible Apologetics/Bible Recap and dual-credit coursework. The high school program also offers an elective policy to tailor coursework to individual interests. Mrs. Lesa Shilling brings to the program numerous years as an honors English and History teacher in the public school system as well as an adjunct professor for local colleges. Students at this level can participate in PE and in-person coursework on Mondays at Little Prairie Christian Church.
Other
Beyond our weekly interactions, we also offer monthly family events: Family Nights, Pumpkin Patch Field Trip, Annual Christmas Talent Show, Beall's Woods Adventure Hike and Picnic Day, etc.
We also believe we are called to be on Mission for God's Kingdom, so serving others remains foundational for the Academy which means we provide opportunities to serve in our community: cleaning in our community or at Oil Belt Christian Service Camp, setting up the Nativity at the Albion square, etc.
​
We offer opportunities for our students so that they can continue to grow together as they grow closer to Christ. Our elementary can participate in a summer outing; our jr. high and high school students can take advantage of a two-day leadership retreat in Shawnee or a yearly mission trip to Love Packages.
