Curriculum

(to build relevance and relationships) and to identify core discipline skills and content for mastery (to ensure rigor).

 

Our wide range of departments include options in Mathematics, Science, Computer Science, Humanities, Health and Wellness, World Languages, Visual and Performing Arts, ESL, and our Learning Skills Program. Our many electives allow students to pursue further interests. Many courses are offered at the Honors and Dual Enrollment level, providing the opportunity to experience college-level coursework and to earn college credit from Virginia Wesleyan University.

 

Each department has exit skills, defined by grade level and by course, to ensure that students are well-prepared for the next academic year, for standardized tests, and for college admission and completion. While recognizing the benefits of national and state standards as effective guidelines, the departments tailor their curricula to the specific demands of the Christchurch School community.

 

Teachers at Christchurch work together not only in academic departments but also in grade-level teams that cross disciplines. This coordination of support gives families greater assurance that students will have a full range of support to enable success.
