Rocky Christian School strives to provide a biblically based curriculum, which nurtures the unique gifts of students and prepares them for lives as disciples of Jesus. Everything we do reflects a Christian perspective. All curriculum taught at Rocky Christian School reflects Alberta Learning requirements.

Biblical Studies
Click on picture for large image	Involve students in discovering the drama of covenant history moving from Genesis through Revelation, where they see the promises of the Old Testament and the fulfillment in Christ in the New Testament. They grasp a biblical view of human beings created as image bearers of Christ. Salvation, grace, faith, covenant, kingdom, church, world, salvation, judgment, law, and gospel are biblical themes that give students a personal encounter with God. Our goal is to help students find their place in God’s story.

They are provided with opportunities to develop a sense of place and time; as well as values that reflect responsible citizenship in relation to serving fellow humans, seeking justice and exercising stewardship with the materials God has given us.

Language Arts
Reflects that language is a gift from God. It is what makes humans unique to the rest of creation. Language is used to communicate effectively with God and other people. Understanding is developed through listening and reading skills; whereas speaking and writing enable students to clearly and honestly express ideas and beliefs. The varied use of literature opens up a new world full of experiences through the eyes and hearts of other writers. Reflections on these bring out discussions on the author’s worldview and how that fits the sovereignty of God.		Click on picture for large image

Mathematics
	Unfolds the intricate patterns and order of numbers and space as created by God. Students learn that the principles of mathematics are revealed through experiences and exploration of God’s design. As we grasp to understand the laws and orders of mathematics, we understand that God has the overall design in place, ready for us to explore and understand. There is so much we can still discover and learn.
