At Front Range Christian School, we are committed to providing a quality, faith-infused education that is designed to value each individual student as we raise up Christian scholars. Our dedication to training and equipping teachers at every level is core to our pursuit of academic excellence.
As a school, we want to continue to share the intentional ways we regularly pursue academic excellence within our walls. Following are two core approaches we utilize as a school.
Teacher Mentor Program
To support each member of our staff, all new-to-FRCS teachers are paired with a veteran teacher to meet with and work alongside regularly. This intentional partnership is integral in training and equipping teachers. Throughout the duration of this program and beyond, teachers work together through practical and regular collaboration. This invested partnership ensures the implementation of the core values of a quality, Christian education into each teacher’s classroom.
Instructional Coaches
The purpose of an instructional coach is to observe and engage in all classrooms, working to implement best teaching practices among our staff to support student success. Collaboration, regular self-reflection, goal setting, and observations are essential components of an instructional coach’s job.
