Risen Christ Lutheran School’s curriculum has been approved by the State of Ohio. It meets the State of Ohio Content Standards as well as national standards provided by the various professional organizations as the International Reading Association, National Council for Teachers of English, National Association for Sport and Physical Education.

Likewise, Risen Christ offers instruction and training in God’s Word and Christian living. The Instruction received by children attending Risen Christ is Bible-based, with Christ as the center of Christian life and Christian education. Psalm 32:8 says "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you." Accordingly, to enhance the importance of a good spiritual beginning for every child, spiritual growth is encouraged through daily devotions and prayers.

SCIENCE — The science curriculum is designed by Harcourt and based on the national Science Content and Assessment Standards. These standards are met through the following ways:

  • Standards-based life, earth, and physical science content is provided at each grade level
  • Students use the tools and processes of scientific inquiry in every lesson, which always begins with a hands-on investigation
  • Exciting and informative aspects of science and technology are included with the life, earth, and physical science content
  • The history and nature of science and the work of scientists are featured.
  • Students are assessed in a variety of ways.

Harcourt Science authors stress that the curriculum provides children with opportunities to Investigate the natural world, Learn about interesting, relevant, and exciting science ideas, Link science to mathematics, writing, technology, and all other aspects of the elementary curriculum.
