Academics Overview

Eager-faced children, proud of their efforts and accomplishments, are what we desire for each child's educational experience at CCDS. The faculty and staff of Christ Church Day School ground teaching and learning practices on love and respect for each individual child. Whether laughing at their state-of-matter concoctions of "soliquid,” creating wonderful works of art, or learning about number bonds and equations in math, teachers engage the children in activities that provide opportunities to reason and reflect, build self-discipline, and encourage lifelong learning.

​

Striving for academic excellence, we follow best practices in the areas of language arts with Readers' and Writers' Workshops and the use of Singapore Math in mathematics.  We also have adopted the Next Generation Science standards which raise the bar on what is considered to be outstanding instruction in the sciences, and we have implemented the Mystery Science curriculum to align with the Next Generation Science Standards.

​

Art, Music, PE, Spanish, and Spiritual Nurture speciality classes expand and enrich the daily classroom curriculum and support the holistic development of CCDS students. The complete CCDS program is used as a means to excite students about learning and to encourage each child to become a life-long learner.  

​

Underlying everything we do at Christ Church Day School is an education based on values that reflect God's love for each of us, academic excellence, service learning, inclusiveness, and an appreciation for diversity. Within this context, we strive to educate ourselves and our students in mind and heart.
