Savvy Source's Comments

"CURRICULUM AND GROWTH : The curriculum of Christ Our Savior Christian School is developed with an understanding of the developmental level of students and in accordance with the school's mission and purpose. The core subject areas at each grade level include religion, language arts (reading, literature, phonics, writing, spelling, speaking, grammar), mathematics, social studies (current events, geography, history), and science. Spanish, art, music, theater arts, computer, and physical education are included at most grade levels. Students use the computer labs as an extension of their classroom programs in addition to learning computer literacy."

Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Because it is Montessori, there is always free choice at times with stations. I would say the teacher gives instructions and guides the children, but allows them to work on their own and explore.
