What kind of religious instruction do we have?

We base our teaching on the Bible.  Jesus, true God and true man suffered, died and rose for the sins of all people.  Anyone who has faith in this, their sins will be forgiven and they receive eternal life as a free gift. We use the curriculum from the Faith Alive series by Concordia Publishing.

How are subjects taught at Crown Christian School?

All courses within the curriculum are taught with a Christian interpretation.  We teach that God created all things in six days and the theory of evolution is incorrect.

How are students viewed at Crown Christian School?

Each student is special in God's eyes.  All children are taught with this in mind.  Communication between the school and the home is very important.  The teacher will contact the home when parents need to be aware of circumstances.  When discipline is necessary, it is in love, with Christ's forgiveness always in mind.
