This. And,

The "science" will be something along the lines of-the earth was created by God in 7 days, 6,000 years ago. There was nothing and then one fine day there was everything.

They will be taught that the science theories they will hear in the world of sin is false and rejects God.

They'll be fine if your college goals are Liberty or Patrick Henry College.

Creationism is a theory, science is a method. It definitely appears they do not plan on teaching the appropriate methodology

When fundamentalism and post-modernism marry-I love it!

Exactly.

Sorry, evolution is a fact. Things evolve. Period.

Stay far away from this school if you have any hopes of your children ever getting jobs in the real world.

I would run, very far and very fast, from that school if you want your kid to receive a decent education.

If they don't teach science, how do their students pass ACT tests?

Sounds like they won't be teaching science.

"Our science is taught from a Creationist viewpoint."

This seems pretty clear to me. No, they will not incorporate evolution.

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?
