Personally, I think Bible Curriculum should be kept as simple as possible. Those who want to study to become theologians, pastors, and bible scholars have to do enormous amounts of work studying various languages and surveying millennia of history to argue compellingly with each other.
For the rest of us, I think we should just focus on surveying the Bible, believing what we read, and obeying humbly. In most cases, that will likely be more profitable than arguing about one system of theology versus another.
Beyond reading in church, it's best if the family has a regular practice of reading the Bible together. Children who read through the entire bible and deliberate on the meaning of most of its passages will already have a better education than most people ever get.
There are 1189 chapters in the Bible, meaning that at only one chapter per school day, to say nothing of non-school days, a young person has the opportunity to read through the Bible multiple times over the course of their childhood. At the very least, once in elementary school, and once again in secondary school.
The curriculum below is planned to contain vocabulary questions and interpretation questions for each chapter of the Bible, to help elementary and secondary students (and adults!) ponder the passage.
