Christ Lutheran Schools offers a well-rounded Christian education to students from the entire community. Students perform above national averages in all subject areas and have many opportunities to go beyond the norm in a variety of areas. In addition to the basics of religion, reading, math, science, social studies, literature, English, and spelling we offer Spanish in the upper grades, and band and choir in grades 5-8. We also participate in an annual spelling bee, science fair, the National Geographic Bee, and the National History Bee. All students have art, physical education, and music every week. Our students may also participate in volleyball, basketball, track and field, golf, and cross country teams with other private schools through the Albuquerque Christian Athletic Association. In addition we have a student council that works on projects for the school, a Destion Imagination group and some other after school clubs.
