ACADEMICS

Expected Schoolwide Learning Results

Expected Schoolwide Learning Results (ESLRS) were developed to detail what our students will gain through their education at Calvary Murrieta Christian School. There are six categories that make up our ESLR’s; Academic Achievement, Christian Worldview, Critical Thinking, Effective Communication, Cultural Literacy, and Spiritual & Moral Development.

Each year we spotlight three of the six categories. Academic Achievement and Christian Worldview are highlighted every year, and then we choose one of the other alternate four to focus on in that particular year.

Our teachers give attention to the ESLR’s in their weekly lesson plans. It is imperative that our students know what they are learning whether it is how to solve problems, evaluate data, or analyze secular and Christian viewpoints.
