At Cascade View Christian School our curriculum is taught from a biblical world perspective. We have selected our curriculum because we believe it is going to help students read and know the Word of God, know how to share it with others, and come to know Jesus and have a personal relationship with him while strengthening their academic skills.
We want our students to be as prepared as they can be to work hard, make mistakes, trust God, and never stop seeking truth, beauty, and goodness once they have graduated. We want students to study the past from creation to modern times to see how God is present in every bit of history and how they are part of His story. We want students to read God’s word, write it on their hearts, and shine with the light of Jesus.
We want students to study mathematics in a way that proves how ordered and knowable God is. We want students to study creation with awe and wonder. We want students to read the great works of the past to recognize beautiful stories and writing while exploring the constancy of human nature and discovering how all people need the redemption of Christ.
We want students to study Latin to expand their horizons, develop a love for language at a young age, to become better readers, writers, and eventually to study great works in the original language. We want students to have discussions about what it means to follow Christ and develop a strong faith they know how to defend.
We have carefully chosen curriculum from a variety of publishers that supports these goals. We’d love to discuss our curriculum with your during your school tour.
CVCS believes that in order to cultivate students who seek to know the truth, goodness, and beauty of God’s creation their day needs to be filled with opportunities to encounter Him. That is why we are so glad to offer an academically rigorous Bible based curriculum and many opportunities for students of all ages to move, learn, and grow.
Each student will start their morning with a time of prayer and worship that is led by their teacher. During regular classroom instruction you can often find students singing the multiplication tables or chanting their Latin practice while standing or moving around the room. We require P.E. at every grade level and offer breaks/recess so students are given time to exercise and connect with each other daily.
Even with a rigorous classroom workload students are given time to move, make meaningful friendships, fellowship, and learn in many different ways.
Students should expect to do homework each night. Since we only attend school 4 days per week, homework is necessary for our academic goals to be met. Homework is also time for a student to practice their self-discipline and apply the skills they have learned to an assignment. Students can expect to have homework in subject like Math, Spelling, and Reading each night, while other subjects may be substituted or added as necessary.
Study habits vary, so it is difficult to estimate the amount of time for any one student. Homework helps students develop skills in the following areas: help-seeking, planning, goal-setting, time-manageent, self-monitoring, monitoring comprehension, and using feedback.
Students shoud be prepared for 30 min to 1 hour of homework a night depending on the grade level. 1rst graders can expect to do 15 to 30 min of homework each night, and middle through high school can expect to do 1 to 2 hours of homework each night.
