Educating the Whole Child
Our Vision
Christ-centered, Whole Child Education:
-
Jesus Christ is the reason for our school’s existence; therefore, our curriculum, conversation, activities, and how we treat each other and manage classrooms are based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
-
We believe that the child is to develop in all four aspects of our being – spiritually, mentally, physically, and socially – just as Jesus did.* Therefore, we create a balance of education to address all four aspects.
Our curriculum includes all core subjects mandated by the State of California and includes classes for Bible and music instruction. In addition, numerous field trips including overnight trips for grades 4-8 ensure that each child has a ‘being there’ experience to enhance their learning. Based on recent NWEA Achievement norms for Reading, Language Usage, Math, and Science, our 8th-grade students outperformed their peers at the national level in all four subjects.
Our approach to education incorporates a balance of academic, mental, physical, social, and spiritual growth. Our teachers incorporate hands-on projects to help students apply their knowledge and provide differentiation to instruction and assignments to meet each student where they are.
Curriculum implemented includes Big Ideas Math, 95 Core Phonics, Encounter Bible, By Design Science (an SDA balanced science curriculum), and the Pathways language arts program. Teachers cover priority standards using the curriculum and other resources to help students practice and master necessary skills.
