JCS Curriculum

Overview

Every subject.
One worldview.

John Calvin School delivers the Early Years Learning Framework for Kindergarten and the Australian Curriculum from Foundation (Prep) to Year 10 through a Christian Worldview.

To help guide delivery, JCS uses Christian Worldview Statements, which highlight that across all curriculum areas, students should be taught about God's sovereignty, the authority of Holy Scripture, Christ's salvation of the world, and how the Holy Spirit equips them as prophets, priests and kings.

Christian Worldview Statements

Our four CW themes.

The Authority of Holy Scripture

All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction (2 Timothy 3:16–17). The Old and New Testaments are holy, canonical, self-interpreting and complete. God's laws function as the norm for living in accordance with God's will.

The Sovereignty of God the Father

God created both the Heavens and the Earth (Psalm 24:1–2). He directs all events, exercising His Kingship over every aspect of life (Acts 17:26, Hebrews 1:3).

Jesus Christ as Saviour of the World

God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to pay for sin and remove the curse of death (John 3:17). Christ's return is imminent, bringing the fullness of God's kingdom — calling us to repent and live in readiness.

The Christian as Prophet, Priest & King

Filled with the Holy Spirit, Christians confess God's name as prophets, present themselves as sacrifices of thankfulness as priests, and fight against sin and the devil as kings (Ephesians 6:11).
