Our mission is to provide students with the academic training and spiritual nurture needed to become men and women who are worthy representatives of our Lord Jesus Christ.

K THROUGH GRADE 5 The first building blocks of education can often be the most crucial in a child’s development. At Pasadena Christian School, we guide elementary-age children through a carefully planned and thoughtfully prepared instructional program that focuses on fundamental lessons and guiding principles of Christianity. In the English language arts curriculum, we emphasize essential learning skills, such as reading, writing, grammar, spelling and vocabulary. Science, social studies and math lessons are reinforced by hands-on activities and practical applications. Spiritual and moral development is taught based on lessons from the Bible and basic Christian principles are reinforced as an integral part of the entire curriculum. Our goal is to outfit our elementary-age children with the learning tools to succeed and the belief system to help take them to the next level of their educational and personal development.
