Christ Church School began in 1969 as a program for four and five year old students.
Today, classes are offered for students two years of age through grade five. Students are provided with the most positive influences possible - from caring, nurturing Christian teachers to a challenging curriculum with ample opportunities for leadership. These influences help children develop strong values and character.
A low student/teacher ratio enables teachers to give students the individual attention that contributes to future success. Instruction focuses on the total child - mind, body, spirit - in order to foster each child's God-given abilities and potential.
Our educational program stresses strong academic skills, good study habits and responsibility, while nurturing each student's natural curiosity and sense of wonder.
An important element of Christ Church School is the dedicated, caring faculty. They are academically qualified and experienced in their respective fields. Genuinely interested in their students, they bring enthusiasm and a love of learning to the classroom. The teachers' strong faith and values are the foundation of their ability to be positive role models. Quality education in a Christian environment of love, acceptance and leadership is their foremost goal.
History
As an outreach ministry of Christ Church, Christ Church School was established in 1969 as a program for four and five year old students. Today classes are offered for students two years of age through grade five.
During the 2019-2020 school year, we celebrated our 50th anniversary! We are thankful for the opportunities we have been blessed to afford to our community. The growth of the school is representative not only of the need but also the success and growth of our students through every phase of their experience at CCS.
