Columbine Christian school classroom instructors use traditional textbooks linked with national standards.
These include Harcourt Math, Scotts/Foresman science and social studies, Chall-Popp phonics, Pathways reading and more.
In addition, we follow the curriculum guidelines set by the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists.
Our guiding principles include inviting God's presence into all we do, teaching a social curriculum, working toward differentiated instruction and bringing natural beauty into the classroom setting.
We invite partnership with parents, offering a wide range of opportunities for involvement.
