What Does a Christ-Centered Education Really Look Like?
When you’re choosing a school for your child, you’re not just choosing academics—you’re choosing an environment where they’ll grow emotionally, socially, and spiritually. At Christ Little Rock School, we recognize that families want more than strong test scores and safe classrooms (though we offer both). They want their children to be surrounded by people who will reinforce their values, nurture their character, and speak life into their God-given potential.
We believe the best education develops the whole child—mind, heart, and spirit—with Christ at the center. But what does that actually look like from preschool through 8th grade?
Let us show you.
Faith in the Flow of the School Day
Faith at Christ Little Rock isn’t reserved for chapel or religion class. It’s in everything we do. Each morning begins with prayer and devotion, grounding the day in God’s Word. In the classroom, teachers point students to biblical truths during everyday moments—when a student struggles, when conflict arises, or when there’s a reason to celebrate.
In science, students marvel at the intricacies of God’s creation. In social studies, they learn to see history through the lens of justice, stewardship, and compassion. Even math becomes a place where perseverance and God-given reasoning are celebrated.
We don’t separate faith from learning—we integrate it.
Strong Academics with an Eternal Perspective
We offer a complete academic program that meets or exceeds state standards, preparing students well for high school and beyond. But what sets our approach apart is the “why” behind what we teach.
We teach reading so students can grow in wisdom and eventually study Scripture for themselves.
We teach science to inspire awe in the Creator.
We teach writing so they can express truth with clarity and kindness.
We teach history to reflect on how God works across generations.
In other words, education here is purposeful. Every subject is a doorway to deeper thinking and spiritual formation.
Character Isn’t a Buzzword—It’s a Priority
In today’s world, we often hear about “character education,” but what does that really mean?
At Christ Little Rock, it means helping students live out values like respect, kindness, humility, and service—not because it looks good on paper, but because that’s what Christ calls us to. These lessons happen in real-time:
When a student helps a classmate who’s having a hard day.
When a middle schooler leads younger students by example.
When a teacher pauses to pray with a frustrated child.
We also partner closely with parents, reinforcing at school the same Christ-centered principles at school that are nurtured at home.
A School Community That Feels Like Family
Families who visit often say it “feels different” here. That’s intentional. We’re a small, close-knit school where students are known by name and loved for who they are. Our teachers invest deeply—not only in academics, but in each child’s growth and well-being.
Parents are welcomed as partners. Whether you want to volunteer, attend chapel, or just stay in the loop, we make it easy to stay connected. And because our school is part of Christ Little Rock Church, your child isn’t just gaining an education—they’re becoming part of a multigenerational faith community.
Many of our students build lifelong friendships here—not just with peers, but with mentors who help shape their walk with Christ.
Early Foundations That Last a Lifetime
If you have a preschool-aged child, you might wonder: “Is it too early for this?”
The early years are some of the most important.
Our Preschool Program is rooted in nurturing curiosity, social development, and early learning—but we also help young children begin to understand God’s love in age-appropriate ways. It’s the beginning of a foundation that carries through K–8 and, we hope, for a lifetime.
As students progress through elementary and middle school, they build on that foundation with deeper learning, spiritual growth, and opportunities to lead.
Is This the Right Fit? Let’s Talk.
We know choosing a school is a big decision. Whether you’ve been part of a Christian school before or are just starting to explore what that could look like, we welcome your questions.
There’s no pressure here—just an open door. We’re happy to schedule a tour, share more about our programs, or simply talk about what matters most to you as a parent.
We’re not here to sell you a school.
We’re here to show you a community where your child can grow—in faith, in knowledge, and in character.
