Parents have been warned that a private faith school set to open in Hull this year could "indoctrinate" children with "fundamentalist" Christian teaching.
The £2,000-a-year New Life Academy is due to open in Bridlington Avenue in the west of the city this September.
Senior minister Reverend Jarrod Cooper said it would offer "individualised" Christian learning to allow pupils to develop at their own pace.
Opponents say children will be isolated and taught the Bible is literally true.
The school will follow the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) curriculum formulated by an educational products company in the US.
ACE lists its principles in a "statement of faith" which includes a belief that the Bible is literally true.
