Alpha Omega Publications’ LifePAC® Core Curriculum
LifePAC is a complete work text curriculum for students in grades K-12. AOP is committed to meeting the needs of students and teachers alike and strives to achieve the perfect balance of structure and flexibility in the LifePAC curriculum.
The work text format of the LifePACs allows students to read textual information and complete workbook activities all in the same booklet. Each LifePAC course also comes complete with teacher support materials that guide instruction and provide answer keys for lessons, activities, and tests.
LifePAC’s core subjects — Bible, Language Arts, Math, History & Geography, and Science — create a strong educational foundation for students, equipping them with the skills they’ll need to be successful lifelong learners.
- What is a LifePAC?
- A LifePAC is a combination workbook and textbook that we refer to as a “worktext” There are ten LifePACs per year, per subject, in our core curriculum. This program basically divides one hard bound book into ten smaller books making it simple for little hands to work with. This method is less intimidating than using one oversized textbook and it also makes the material more portable. Children enjoy it because they receive a new workbook every three to four weeks!
- In LifePAC Bible 801, what does the “801” mean?
- The first number on a LifePAC stands for the grade level. The last two numbers indicate which book, unit, you are working in. For example, if a student is working on the Bible 801 worktext, it means they are working with grade 8, unit 1. Similarly, Math 207 is the seventh book (out of ten books in a set) in second grade Math
- How long does it take to complete one LifePAC?
- Each LifePAC should take approximately three to four weeks to complete. It is important to use the Teacher’s Guide for additional activities and supplementary teaching ideas.
- How long should a student work on each subject?
- We recommend 45 minutes per subject per day.
- How do I keep track of grades?
- We carry Student Record books designed to help you organize student grades and other important information. Each book has space enough for one quarter. Keeping accurate records is an essential part of monitoring your child’s progress.
- What is a boxed or complete set of LifePAC?
- A boxed set includes a Teacher’s Guide, ten LifePACs, and any required readers needed to complete one year of a subject. It is possible to purchase a complete LifePAC set that contains Teacher’s Guides, LifePACS, and required reading for each of the core subjects. LifePACs may be purchased on an individual basis.
