3. In our lower elementary grades reading instruction is based on the widely acclaimed A Beka phonics curriculum.

4. We use the Saxon math curriculum beginning in 2^nd grade (see Saxon Math), which has enabled CCS to achieve class MATH averages 1 – 4 years ahead of the national average in these grades.

5. Excellent, caring, qualified teachers and carefully chosen curricular materials at all levels have enabled CCS to achieve class OVERALL averages 1.3 – 3.3 years ahead of the nation in 1^st – 6^th grades.
