Community Christian School

Community Christian School is a non-denominational school serving 3 year old preschool through eighth grade students.
Established in 1978, our students and staff represent a wide range of churches and denominations.
We exist to serve God through the family, to integrate Christian values through a Biblical curriculum, and to glorify God through Jesus Christ.
At CCS, the emphasis is on Christian education.  Christian teachers, using a Bible-based curriculum, build a strong foundation of academics and Christian principles within students.
This prepares students to examine their environment through a Christian world view.
CCS is more than a school, it's a Christian community working together to serve God in guiding His children in their development of a personal relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ.
Parents are able to share their primary responsibility in this area with our teachers and staff.
