The teaching-learning cycle of every lesson taught at WOLCS has at its core a world view based on the truths about the character of God and our relationship with Him. Foremost among these truths is that God loves us and has created us with a purpose. Water of Life Christian School uses the State of California Content Standards as a guideline for minimum student achievement in each core subject area. In some subjects, such as in computer, the National Education Technology Standards (NETS) are used. Where no state or federal standards are available, as in Bible, we carefully choose curriculum materials that help our students reach the school's expected outcomes. Our goal is to meet and go beyond California Content Standards by using our core curriculum and enhancing it with a variety of activities.

The following textbooks are currently being used at WOLCS:
 

Biblical principles are integrated into each area of the curriculum everyday of the school year. Our staff is dedicated to helping children come to know Jesus and experience the wonders of His world and His great love for us in every area of study. The materials listed above help us in the pursuit of academic excellence, but it is our staff, with the help of God's Sprit, who bring the curriculum to life and bring the life of Jesus to our students.
