The elementary grades at CAL offer an arena for students to expand their academic pursuits as well as grow in their knowledge of Christ.

A strong phonics program ensures that every student develops good reading and comprehension skills. The curriculum includes Bible classes as well as biblical integration in language arts (spelling, reading, handwriting, and language), math, history, and science. In addition to the traditional curriculum, students receive further instruction in Spanish, music, art, physical education, drama and computer. A daily effort is made by teachers and administration to encourage the development of individual Christian character and leadership.

Extra-curricular and co-curricular activities add to the educational experience. Field trips are a regular part of the school year and offer opportunities of “learning beyond the walls.” CAL’s athletic program includes various sports activities including martial arts by a national winner and certified instructor.

We encourage families to become involved at every stage of the learning process. Whether helping in the classroom, visiting chapel services, attending special events, serving on the various committees, chaperoning field trips or coaching or assisting a sports team, parents can encourage their student’s development through support in important ways.

Grades 1 through 5 participate in the national Stanford and OLSAT achievement-testing program annually. Grade appropriate participation in ASCI academic and arts events is encouraged in most areas and can be required in others as determined by the school Administrator.

The CAL uniform policy includes a generous selection of styles and colors for all elementary students. The standardized dress code provides a sense of school unity as well as bringing focus to the broader areas of educational benefit within the school setting. A detailed copy of the dress code is in the Elementary Student Handbook.

The Elementary Campus is located in the Anderson Christian Church. All teachers are caring, qualified individuals who have a minimum of a bachelors degree, and many have post graduate work/degrees. As a part of our Biblical emphasis we include:
