Curriculum
Curriculum involves a significant number of variables in a school educational program. One of the things we do at CCS is
to start with what we are hoping to help parents accomplish in terms of the outcomes they want for their children.
The following student outcomes are what we at CCS are all about!

Materials
Champion Christian School uses a variety of materials from several publishing companies to ensure the best instruction for
our students. Among these are Bob Jones, A Beka, ACSI Publishing Co, Prentice-Hall, Holt, and Peterson. We use many other
resources from DVDs, computer programs, internet and hands on activities. We routinely take field trips to enhance
instruction such as visiting New York City, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and Williamsburg. Speakers from many fields of
expertise come to speak to students on a regular basis and give them real life experiences. We utilize a blended learning
model with utilizing a learning management system iChampion, which is based on a Moodle Platform.
CCHS employs a block scheduling system with three main classes in the fall and three more in January for a total of six
academic classes throughout the year. In addition, other non block classes such as Bible are offered all year. We offer AP
classes in Calculus, Spanish, and Honors American History. We also offered directed studies for juniors and seniors. This is a
full class under the direction of a mentor in that subject. We offer Preschool, Elementary, Office, Library, Development,
Garage Mechanics, Maintenance, Food Service, Computer I and II, and Greenhouse Directed Studies. Some off site directed
studies are available through local Physical Therapist offices, and therapeutic riding centers.
95% of our graduates go to college and our students have been accepted at colleges and universities across the country such
as Penn State, University of Pittsburgh, Cornell, Temple, Grove City College, Messiah, Malone, Taylor U, Waynesburg U,
Cedarville U, West Virginia U, Liberty U, Saint Vincent College, Bryan College, Ohio Northern U, University of Arizona,
Washington State University, Michigan State, and Miami of Ohio to name a few.
