Community Christian School is the result of a vision of immigrants from the Netherlands almost a century ago.
With much prayer and planning, they felt the Lord leading them in the Pease area for a school that focuses on a Christ-centered education.
Parents desire a school that is Christ-centered and reinforces the values taught both at home and at church.
Parents instill God's values and commands in their children's lives.
CCS is the extension of the Christian family. Church, home and school work simultaneously to fulfill this goal.
Community Christian School was founded in 1914. The immigrant parents were committed to the idea of providing an education that had God's Word as its core.
That is still true to this date. Currently we are a school of 114 students in Pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.
Our families come from over fifteen different Christian churches and hail from the Milaca, Princeton and surrounding areas.
