[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm considering a private Christian school for DD's first grade.

I like the fact that they follow Saxon math.

But their about the Social Studies and Science it says the following:

"Our Social Studies curriculum focuses on understanding issues within a society and a culture from a Biblical perspective.  Students are taught good citizenship through the development of our Christian and American heritage as defined by God’s law.  Additionally, history topics are taught from a providential prospective.  Our curriculum resources include Macmillan’s Communities Near and Far, Yellow Hammer’s The Alabama Journey, Glencoe McGraw-Hill’s The American Journey, Weekly Reader’s Map Skills for Today, and Scholastic News.

Our Science curriculum is taught from a Creationist viewpoint.  The science curriculum resource is by Purposeful Design Publications. The curriculum helps students gain a deeper appreciation of God’s creation through scientific observation, experimentation, analysis, and age-appropriate scientific inquiry. "

What do you think it meas? What would you expect? That they wont' be teaching evolution or biology?[/quote]

OP, the school is being very upfront with you. The belief underlying the social studies curriculum is that the Christian god guided society and culture. The belief underlying the science curriculum is that the Christian god created and designed life and the universe. Are you comfortable with those beliefs? If you are not, I don't think it's a good idea to send your daughter to that school, Saxon math or no Saxon math.[/quote]
