Academics

From Kindergarten through the 12th grade, CBCS uses the curriculum published by BJU press (Bob Jones University, SC). All classes are taught in English with the exception of one period a day of Spanish starting in the second semester of 1st grade (using material From Editorial Norma).

The aims of our curriculum are threefold:

• Biblical Worldview – we use the biblical themes of Creation, Fall and Redemption with which to view all academic disciplines. Teaching in each academic class revolves around the values and standards of God’s Word.
• Academic Rigor – we engage students with age-appropriate content and help them develop the ability to analyze, critically rather than just memorize facts.
• English Skills – Recognizing that the majority of our students have English as their second language, we are constantly aiming to raise their academic learning ability in English.
