School Reviews
5 4/10/2026
Excellent school. We have been pleased with our daughter''s education and the level of attention given to each student.
5 10/4/2025
Our family's educational journey commenced in 2005 when our eldest child entered Kindergarten, and twenty years later, we celebrated the graduation of our youngest in 2025. Throughout these two decades, we have navigated various educational pathways, including public schooling, homeschooling, co-op schooling, and ultimately, enrolling all our children at Concord Christian School, which has proven to be the ideal choice. Our children flourished academically and spiritually, thanks to the rigorous curriculum, mandatory Bible classes, and the supportive environment, which fostered meaningful family discussions, complemented our home-based biblical teachings, and church activities. Within the supportive setting of this small private school, our children have excelled in sports and theater, benefiting from caring teachers and coaches who have provided guidance, prayers, and a listening ear. They have formed lasting connections and friendships, which we believe will endure a lifetime. While acknowledging that no situation is perfect, we express our heartfelt gratitude to CCS for its profound impact on our family. To those considering a Christian education in West Knoxville, we highly recommend CCS as an exemplary choice.
5 1/31/2025
I really feel that CCS went above and beyond to help me become the person I am today, in more ways than one. While I was phenomenally academically prepared for college and further education, I was also very prepared for life after college. Spiritually, fundamentally, and socially, CCS really helped mold me into the person I am today and has certainly been instrumental to my success in life following graduation.
5 1/24/2025
As the parent of two Concord students, my wife and I remain incredibly grateful for the way teachers, staff, and coaches continue to pour into our kids. CCS also does a great job with biblically integrating each subject's content matter.
5 2/23/2019
We have been at CCS for 4 years and we continue to love each year. Highly recommend for strong Academics in a Christian setting. Our children continue to thrive even in middle school.
5 5/9/2013
I am very pleased with the education my children are receiving at CCS. There is a close connection with parents, students, teachers and other staff. I know my children are loved, cared for, and are in a safe environment.
5 1/31/2013
CCS is a school that feels like an extended family. The teachers genuinely care for my two boys. I love that they received a solid spiritual foundation as well as a quality academic foundation.
