Our Academics
Colton Christian School is proud to use Bob Jones University Press curriculum. BJUP has consistently been the gold standard of Christian school curriculum and makes dutiful efforts to ensure all subjects are biblically integrated, saturated with Scriptural truth, and overflowing with opportunities for students to worship the Creator through His creation.
Colton Christian School also recognizes BJUP's response to Common Core as it relates to incorporating sound academic teaching and a Christian perspective: "We do not limit ourselves to the level of the standards but go beyond, based on our philosophy of learning and sound educational practices. In other words, our materials exceed these Common Core State Standards in age-appropriate instruction and academic rigor."

Literacy
If there is a skill that Christians everywhere need to practice, it's reading! Reading helps us understand and apply Scripture, be informed and participatory citizens, learn new things, and enjoy all kinds of literature!
Science
Our God has created a magnificent and mysterious world that we can use science to learn about! By using the scientific method, we can discover the truth about God's word and His order.
Writing
God is an excellent communicator! How can we become more like Him as we hone the ability to think and write with reason, clarity, and creativity? Writing is a great way to share our testimony and develop new ideas.
Heritage Studies
How has God demonstrated His power and providence throughout time? Heritage studies allows us to study God's will in action in Scripture and social studies!
Mathematics
God is incredible in that He ordered the universe to be understood! We can use examples from Scripture to see how precise and mathematical God has been with the heroes of the Bible, and how we can use math today to help others!
Physical Education
God made each of us in His own image and we are to be good stewards of the bodies we've been given. Learning about health and movement helps us honor God with our bodies.
