IS LIBERTY ASSOCIATED WITH A PARTICULAR CHURCH or DENOMINATION?

Liberty Christian School is a non-profit organization completely independent from a particular church. We reach out to Christian families of all denominations. We keep our focus on Jesus Christ, the central message of God’s Word. We emphasize the teaching of Bible truths as related to all facets of life.

IS THERE AVAILIBILITY IN MY CHILD’S GRADE?

Availability is on a grade-by-grade basis. In Upper School, availability may be dependent upon class size and the particular classes your student is interested in taking.

IS THERE A WAITING LIST?

The wait pool is a list of qualified candidates for each grade. The wait pool is NOT a prioritized wait list. As openings become available in each grade, the Admission Committee meets to determine which candidate can best fill the open spot.

Wait pools do not carry over from one school year to the next.

ARE YOU STILL TAKING APPLICATIONS?

Yes, the enrollment process is ongoing. Liberty currently accepts applicants throughout the year for the present and upcoming school year.

WHAT CURRICULUM IS USED?

A Beka is the primary curriculum in use, with supplementation where deemed useful by department chairs and administration. A Beka is a comprehensive and accelerated Christian curriculum, establishing solid academic and spiritual foundations.

Upper School students also choose from a dynamic variety of elective courses, including yearbook, theatre, band, choir, aerobics, computer, art, foreign language, speech, DanzTeam, and cheerleading.
