    Pasadena Christian School Photo - A rigorous academic program challenges students to stretch their minds and apply concepts learned in a variety of ways. Hands-on approaches to science and math provide the means for deepening student understanding of concepts taught and promote higher level thinking skills. K-8 classroom technology allows for instruction to be enriched with internet access and interactive lessons. A well-equipped computer lab and computers in the library provide research access and increasing development of computer skill application. Dedicated teachers in the areas of music (classroom, choral, and instrumental), computer, art, and Spanish provide the most effective levels of enrichment instruction.
