Academics
 

Columbine classroom instructors use traditional textbooks linked with national standards. These include Harcourt Math, Scotts/Foresman science and social studies, Chall-Popp phonics, Pathways reading and more. In addition, we follow the curriculum guidelines set by the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists.  
Students in grades 3-8 take achievement tests each fall (Iowa Test of Basic Skills) in order to reference students' progress against national norms.
  Each grade level has a set of "Key Learnings" which is sent out early in the year to give parents an idea of the concepts to be covered during that school year.
As examples, here are printable Key Learnings from the 2007-08 school year in PDF format (click View -> Rotate View -> Clockwise for better viewing on your computer):
