Our curriculum in dedicated to educating the whole child and incorporates National, State, and Christian learner outcomes. Our elementary program is academically oriented in that we stress the basics: language arts, science, social studies, mathematics, and the fine arts. We give particular emphasis to reading, which is the key to all other learning. The aim is to challenge each child to reach his or her maximum potential, thus preparing them for productive and effective lives of Christian leadership and service. Instruction in Christian doctrine, as drawn from Scripture, is central to the curriculum.
Grades Kindergarten through 5 are essentially organized as self-contained classes, taught by one teacher, except for adjunct instructors in computer, art, Spanish, music, and physical education, which are taught in addition to the core curriculum.
Grades 6 through 8 are more departmentalized than the earlier grades, reflecting the increasingly specialized nature of the teaching and learning taking place at this level. Sixth, seventh, and eighth graders also enjoy off campus educational experiences. The sixth graders go on a two day overnight outdoor education experience at a camp in Arkansas. The seventh graders spend three days touring many Tennessee historical sites in and around Nashville. The eighth graders culminate their educational experience at Christ the King by taking a four day trip to Washington, D.C.
Christ the King Lutheran School is accredited by the National Lutheran School Accreditation agency and Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, also known as AdvanceED.
