Small Size = Big Results

Are you looking for a learning community where the class sizes are conducive to enhanced learning and personal growth? If so, allow me to share with you one of several reasons you should tour Contra Costa Christian Schools in Walnut Creek: student teacher ratio in each class! 

  1. Our teachers are able to give more individual feedback and support to students. 
  2. Each student can get the attention needed for both academic and personal achievement. 
  3. Students are encouraged to take part in discussions and motivated to express their opinions more freely. 
  4. Research has proven that high school students in smaller classes have comparably higher grades and perform better on university entrance exams. 
  5. Students are able to learn at a faster pace in small classes. Their learning is also enhanced by the confidence that students develop as they express ideas and engage in discussion with their peers. 
  6. Teachers are given the privilege to focus more on teaching in a small class setting. They have opportunities to assess the class as a whole and individually. The enhancement of learning can take place more effectively in a setting where the teacher and students can be more spontaneous! 
  7. Students are able to develop life-long friendships as they connect on a day to day basis with their peers. 

These are just a few of the benefits where class sizes are conducive for your child’s academic and personal growth at Contra Costa Christian Schools.
