Our Goal Community Christian School was founded in 1977 as an extension of the families of Community Christian Church. Our goal is to provide parents a place, guidelines, and biblically-based curricula to facilitate educating children.
History Community Christian School was founded in 1977 as an extension of the families of Community Christian Church. From our beginning until now we have maintained that children are not only born into a family and nurtured in a family, but that it is God’s intention that families have the primary responsibility to educate children. Since a child’s academic formation is central to the development of knowledge, critical thinking, and the maturation of character, our conviction is that handing any of these primary parenting responsibilities off to any other organization undermines God’s intention and purpose of creating the family.

Parent Participation We operate as a parent-participation school.We believe that teaching is a gift from the Holy Spirit. The classroom teachers at CCS are mostly parents of enrolled students whose giftings and education lend themselves to classroom instruction. Parents who are not gifted for classroom instruction serve in other ways at the school site or at home. Participation at CCS’s school site is not limited to mothers. Fathers with compatible work schedules also work at the school site.
Successful Results For over three decades our parent/teacher approach has produced outstanding results as measured by standardized tests. Our graduates have successfully transitioned to other private Christian schools, public schools including high schools, and have gone on to colleges and universities. Some of our current school parents were also students at CCS.
