* We offer a strong phonics based reading program for grades K-3. For grades 4-5 the program is literature-based. Other core subjects include Math, Bible, Science, Social Studies, Spelling, and Language. CCS strives to offer: Music, Spanish, Physical Education, Art, Library and Computers.
The Christian school curriculum centers on the basic core subjects. It is taught with a great emphasis upon student motivation. Content areas are studied, understood and integrated with the revealed truth of God’s Word. God’s Word is taught as the foundation of all human knowledge and understanding. History, mathematics, and science are taught from a Scriptural standpoint. This is no easy task, but the goal is to equip young people to be spiritually self-motivated and individually responsible to God.
Emphasis is placed on the development of strong study habits and special projects. These are designed to teach skills necessary for life. In order to maintain the high academic standards of Chandler Christian School, K-5 students are expected to maintain a grade average of at least 70% in core subjects. When the grade average falls below this standard, the student will be placed on a probationary status. Parents will be notified and a plan of action will be developed and implemented. A student may remain on probationary status for a 4 ½ week period of time after which the student will be expected to maintain the acceptable grade average of 70%. If the student falls below 70% in Reading, Math, or Language, parents will be notified to discuss possible retention.
