School Notes

At Carolina Christian School we are intentionally Christian to foster leadership to impact the local and global communities for Christ, encourage spiritual transformation of students, and provide academic excellence. The faculty and staff of Carolina Christian School understand that education is important to you and your child and therefore, we make academic excellence a priority. We offer a Biblical worldview curriculum that strives for individual success within a safe, positive environment for students in Grades PreK-12. In an effort to serve the whole family, we additionally provide Preschool education for younger children (2-4 years of age). We know that you have a choice in where your child attends school and grows academically, and we hope that you will choose Carolina Christian School and become valued member of our CCS community. .

School Motto: To teach the mind and guide the soul through a deeper understanding of God the Creator and His world.

The governing School Board has developed the following statements to help in the direction of our policies and administration of our school.Carolina Christian School is an extension of the on-going ministry of Carolina Presbyterian Church (PCA) for the purpose of reaching children and youth for Christ, then to be responsible for helping them grow in their faith. ALL academic knowledge should therefore be related to Biblical principles and godly character. If Carolina Christian School is to teach principles based on God's Word, and to enable children to make right decisions, help them resist temptation, and to live respectable lives, we need the help of parents. When parents are enthusiastic about learning, their excitement will motivate their children. Teachers are to be role models for the children, teaching with the love of Christ in all things. Curriculum and teaching methods will always uphold the sanctity of human life from conception until death, the traditional family, and that God direclty created this Earth and all life on it without using any secondary processes such as evolution from one species to another. Curriculum and teaching will be used that encourages the support of the divinely ordained institutions of family, church, and government. It will also be God-based yet child-centered and will be used to reinforce a solid principle of work ethic.
