Academics
CFS is a fully accredited college preparatory school educating students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Using a combination of Christian and secular textbooks, CFS integrates an academically challenging curriculum with biblical studies, Christian principles, ethics, and student-led prayer and worship.
Our elementary program spans pre-kindergarten through sixth grade, including an afternoon enrichment program for half-day students. Our secondary school program includes both junior high and high school classes. Beginning in eighth grade students move between classrooms throughout the day according to their schedule. A solid core curriculum in Bible or Spiritual Life, English, Mathematics, Social Studies and Science is augmented by electives such as Spanish, Art, Music, Computer Skills, and Physical Education.
