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.
Research shows that students in Lutheran Schools achieve higher academically than most schools. We take the same achievement tests as the public system. We have the Title 1 program available for those who qualify as needing extra help in reading or math.

All of our teachers are certified teachers and graduates of accredited college programs and have teaching certificates from the State of Minnesota. Most of our teachers are graduates of a Concordia University and have the necessary colloquy for teaching religion in a Lutheran school.
The St. Francis school system provides transportation to our school for some students living in their district. Reimbursement from various school districts are available.
The Crown Christian School Board of Education has set the following class size limits. Currently the class sizes are about 12 per classroom.
| K & 1st | Grades 2-4 | Grades 5-8 |
|---|---|---|
| 16 | 22 | 22 |
In special situations, additional students may be added as approved by the School Board and teachers.
Our curriculum outline is in compliance with requirements of the State of Minnesota and Integrating the Faith: A Teacher's Guide for Curriculum in Lutheran Schools. 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.
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.
We have hot lunches delivered daily from the St. Francis school district. Free and reduced lunch rates are available for those who qualify under the Federal and State Hot Lunch Program.
