Academics 

 

   

 

At CCLS, our goal is to teach the rudimentary educational skills to your child, as well as creating an environment that harnesses the development of a responsible Christian citizen. The skills that your children will be learning are listed in the following link. 

 

Our Classes and Programs 

We offer preschool classes starting at the age of 2 years old, followed by a Pre-Kindergarten class. We also have a Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program that allows children to be enrolled whose birthday falls after the cut-off date of December 2 in the public school system. Our elementary school ranges from a full day TK program through the 6th grade.

 

 

Weekly Wednesday Chapel services give our students an opportunity to worship the Lord God through prayer and music while listening to the Bible stories about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All parents are invited to join in our weekly service. Monthly, our students apply the Biblical principles they have learned, through various service projects. Over the years, our students have participated in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, Operation Christmas Child, The Heifer Project, and The Pajama Project, to name a few. This year's service project is, "George Mark Children's House," in San Leandro. Additionally, we collect donations for disaster relief and food for local charities such as, "Neighbors Organized Against Hunger," (NOAH). We encourage the children to spread the love of Christ while thinking of others in their community and throughout the world.

 

 

 

Our preschool classes begin at age 2. Your child will learn how to reduce parent/child separation anxiety, develop self-help skills, learn to interact with their peers, and develop cognitive and fine/gross motor skills. This class transitions into our Pre-Kindergarten class as your child grows physically, mentally, emotionally and scholastically. Using small group and integrated, thematic instruction, your child will develop independent exploration skills in mathematics, early literacy, social studies, and science concepts. Your child will continue learning through creative play experiences which further cognitive development. As your child progresses through our program, we prepare our students for the requirements of Kindergarten. Our curriculum is rich in weekly thematic instruction. Letter recognition and reading readiness, early mathematical concepts, social development, and fine and gross motor skills are emphasized for individual success. Your child will blossom through small and large group instruction with caring, nurturing, Christian teachers. All of this is taught within the framework of a loving Christian environment.

 

 

 

 

 

This program serves as a bridge between Preschool and Kindergarten, providing students with time to develop fundamental skills in an encouraging and nurturing environment. Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is designed around an age-appropriate curriculum that is differentiated for individual learners. Creating a quality early learning experience for Transitional Kindergarten (TK) includes three critical components: developing and teaching the whole child; integrated and diverse activities; and social/emotional development. Curriculum and the environment are closely tied with the environment providing additional direction, support, and instruction in much the same way as an additional teacher.

Class size: Maximum 12:1 teacher-student ratio

1st/2nd Grade 

 

The average 6 and 7 year old is growing more independent and adventurous, and peers become more independent in decision-making. It is the job of the experienced teacher to understand these complexities and create an environment where the 6 and 7 year old can blossom using his/her enthusiasm for adventure. New ideas help to increase academic capabilities while building relationships with peers, family, and Christ.
