For over 50 years Liberty Christian School has proven that excellence in education and faithfulness to Christian values are complementary foundations that work together to shape successful, principled students.Located in beautiful Huntington Beach, California, Liberty Christian School serves families throughout Orange County who understand that education encompasses far more than test scores and college acceptance letters. Our approach integrates Christian academic excellence into every subject, every lesson, and every interaction, creating an environment where students don't just learn what to think, but how to think from a biblical perspective.
The Foundation of Biblical Worldview Education
At the heart of Liberty's educational philosophy stands our commitment to biblical worldview education. This isn't simply adding a Bible class to an otherwise secular curriculum. Instead, we've carefully constructed an educational approach where faith integration occurs naturally and intentionally across all disciplines.
Our curriculum grounds itself in traditional learning methods, featuring University of California-approved courses anchored firmly in a biblical worldview. This means students studying science learn to appreciate God's creation while mastering scientific concepts. History classes examine historical events through the lens of God's sovereignty and human nature. Literature courses explore timeless themes of truth, redemption, and character that reflect biblical principles.
The integration of faith and learning happens through several key elements:
- Scripture-Based Foundation: Every subject area connects back to biblical truth, helping students understand how their faith applies to mathematics, science, literature, history, and the arts.
- Critical Thinking Development: Students learn to evaluate ideas, arguments, and cultural messages against biblical standards, developing discernment that will serve them throughout life.
- Moral Framework: Rather than presenting ethics as subjective preferences, we teach students that absolute truth exists and that God's Word provides the framework for understanding right and wrong.
- Purpose and Calling: Students discover their God-given potential and begin understanding how their unique gifts and abilities can serve God's purposes in the world.
This comprehensive approach to biblical worldview education distinguishes Liberty from schools that compartmentalize faith as one subject among many. Our students graduate understanding that following Christ isn't separate from academic pursuits—it provides the foundation that makes all other learning meaningful.
Rigorous Academic Standards With Personal Attention
Liberty Christian School maintains high academic standards guided by expected and actual student performance outcomes. Our accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) since 1994 demonstrates our commitment to educational excellence that meets rigorous external standards.
Kindergarten Through Sixth Grade Excellence
Our elementary program blends proven curricula from Bob Jones University, Positive Action, Savvas, and McGraw Hill, enhanced by web-based tools like Class Dojo, XtraMath, Google Classroom, Khan Academy, and Accelerated Reader. Teachers bring their individual teaching styles and resources to create engaging, effective learning experiences.
Elementary students benefit from specialized programs including American Sign Language, Library, Music, Choir, Band, and Physical Education. These supplementary programs ensure students receive well-rounded education while mastering fundamental academic skills in small classroom settings.
Secondary Program: College Preparation With Purpose
Our 7th through 12th grade academics follow a rigorous, college-prep curriculum based on California State Standards and the "a-g requirements" of the University of California system. We incorporate diverse curriculum publishers such as Bob Jones, Savvas, McGraw Hill, and Positive Action to provide comprehensive, challenging coursework.
The secondary program emphasizes values-based learning through project-based instruction within an eight-block schedule. Students work collaboratively to design, develop, and solve real-world problems, building critical skills including creativity, collaboration, perseverance, communication, and critical analysis.
Personalized Academic Planning
One of Liberty's greatest strengths lies in our ability to personalize each student's academic journey. Our Academic Dean, Mrs. Martes, works closely with students from 7th through 12th grade, helping them explore their interests and ensuring they remain on track for their future goals—whether that leads to college, career training, or other meaningful paths.
This personalization has enabled students to pursue accelerated graduation timelines when appropriate. Recently, two juniors graduated early to begin their carefully planned educational paths at junior college, demonstrating the flexibility and individualized attention available at Liberty.
College Preparation Rooted in Christian Foundation
Liberty Christian School prepares students not just for college admission but for success in higher education and beyond—all while maintaining their Christian foundation. Over 95% of our graduates pursue higher education, with approximately 50% attending four-year universities.
Dual Enrollment: Maximum Value for College-Bound Students
Liberty strongly emphasizes dual enrollment opportunities, which we believe provide greater value than traditional AP courses for most students. Through dual enrollment, high school students earn college credits while still in our supportive Christian environment, offering several advantages:
- Cost Savings: College credits earned during high school significantly reduce the overall cost of a college degree
- Time Efficiency: Students can potentially graduate from college earlier
- Academic Confidence: Successfully completing college-level coursework builds confidence
- Maintained Support: Unlike AP exams where success depends on one test, dual enrollment allows students to demonstrate mastery over a full semester
Our Academic Dean works individually with students to design dual enrollment schedules that align with their college and career goals, ensuring each student maximizes this valuable opportunity.
College Counseling and Guidance
The college application process can overwhelm families, but Liberty provides comprehensive support through every step. Our faculty and staff bring combined experience navigating various educational paths, offering guidance on college selection, application strategies, financial aid and scholarship opportunities, graduate school planning, and alternative paths.
Expected Schoolwide Learning Results
Liberty Christian School has established clear Expected Schoolwide Learning Results (ESLRs) that define our academic and character goals for every student:
Academic Achievement - Students will demonstrate high standards by developing logical, critical and creative thinking; mastering fundamental skills required by each discipline; and communicating concepts in written, oral, and artistic forms.
Christlike Behavior - Students will exhibit biblical and traditional values through demonstrating integrity and honesty in all endeavors and respecting self and others.
Personal Growth - Students will develop skills for present and future success through exposure to career, scholastic, fine arts, athletic and extracurricular opportunities.
Small Class Sizes: The Liberty Advantage
Liberty intentionally maintains small class sizes with a target student-to-teacher ratio of 15:1. This commitment creates multiple benefits:
- Individual Attention: Teachers know each student personally—their learning styles, strengths, challenges, and aspirations
- Flexible Pacing: Teachers can adjust instruction to ensure mastery rather than simply covering material
- Increased Participation: Every student has opportunities to ask questions and engage actively
- Stronger Relationships: Small classes foster meaningful connections between students and teachers
- Enhanced Character Development: Teachers can address character and biblical principles more effectively
Technology Integration That Enhances Learning
Liberty Christian School thoughtfully integrates technology to enhance learning without replacing human interaction. Kindergarten through second grade uses campus iPads, while third through twelfth grade students receive school-owned Chromebooks (included in tuition). Web-based enhancements like Google Classroom, Khan Academy, and Accelerated Reader supplement our curriculum.
WASC Accreditation: Recognized Excellence
Liberty Christian School has maintained continuous accreditation through the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) since 1994. This prestigious accreditation ensures Liberty meets rigorous standards for educational quality, organizational stability, and institutional effectiveness.
WASC accreditation benefits students directly by ensuring their transcripts and diplomas receive recognition from colleges, universities, and employers nationwide. Graduating from a WASC-accredited school means receiving a nationally recognized education that opens doors for higher education and career opportunities.
