Philosophy
All our curriculum is taught from a biblical world-view, with the goal of developing both subject matter proficiency, and Christ-likeness in your child. Working in partnership with parents, Dunwoody Christian School is committed to the educational and spiritual growth of every student.
Our methodology is to educate, not indoctrinate, so questioning and exploring ideas are welcome in our classrooms. We value and teach critical thinking. The notion that “all truth is God’s truth” guides our teachers as they prepare and deliver classroom instruction.
Core Curriculum
We draw from the best curriculum available by subject. Our curriculum adheres to the Georgia Standards of Excellence and the Georgia Performance Standards. We rely upon our spiritually mature, certified Christian educators to ensure that all classroom content is presented from a biblical, Christian perspective.
All curriculum at Dunwoody Christian School is taught by teachers who are committed to a
Christ-centered, Biblical worldview integration of instruction. All curriculum supports
instruction for students at different levels of learning. We continuously evaluate our curriculum for effectiveness.
