Superbook Academy is an exciting digital curriculum featuring the animated Superbook Bible adventures supported by in-depth lesson plans that will challenge your students with engaging, Christ-centred learning experiences.

Each course consists of three lessons based on Biblical SuperTruths

Kids will view original videos, enter into prayer and worship and participate in creative games and activities that teach the difference between knowing about God to knowing God.

• Lesson 1 – identifies the primary Bible message in the episode. A Discipleship Challenge (practical application) is introduced to help children personalise and incorporate scriptural principles into their everyday lives throughout all three lessons of the course.
• Lesson 2 – focuses on the message as it relates to the world both historically and today.
• Lesson 3 – highlights how the message ultimately comes full circle in God’s plan of sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to be our Saviour.
