Academics

At the Fort Collins Christian School we put a priority on learning and ensure each child strives to reach their highest potential.

In 2017, the average ITBS (Iowa Test of Basic Skills) score of our native English-speaking students was 75%.

Our students on average perform a half to one grade above their current grade level in math.

Our student to teacher ratio of around 10:1 enables a more personal style of learning for each student.

From 2006 to 2009, the academic achievement and abilities of 51,706 students in more than 800 Adventist elementary schools and academics in the United States was gathered with a view to determining how the performance of students in Adventist institutions compared to students in other school systems (The Cognitive Genesis Study). A summary of the findings are shown below.
- Students in all grades, in Adventist schools of all sizes, outperformed the national average in all subjects.
- Students in Adventist schools had higher-than-expected academic achievement based on an assessment of individual ability.
- Students who transferred to Adventist schools saw a significant improvement in their test scores. Also, the longer students stayed in the Adventist school system, the more they gained in achievement and ability.
