About CSCS
Since 1971, our school has stood as a beacon of Christ-centered education, committed to partnering with families to prepare students for lives of purpose, faith, and leadership. We believe education is more than academics—it is a journey of personal discovery, spiritual growth, and intellectual development rooted in God’s absolute truth.
Our Mission
We exist to provide excellent education from a Christ-centered, biblical perspective for lifelong service.
CSCS Core Values
A Personal Discovery of God’s Truth
At the heart of our school is a commitment to God as the ultimate source of truth and authority in all areas of life. We integrate biblical principles into every aspect of education, fostering a worldview that reflects the sovereignty and character of God. Each student is valued as an image-bearer of God, created with supreme worth and a divine purpose: to glorify Him. Our community emphasizes integrity, open communication, and accountability, along with mercy and forgiveness, as we seek to model Christ in every relationship.
A Personal, Active Faith in God
Our desire is for every student to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We nurture this through a safe and supportive environment that encourages spiritual growth for students and staff alike. From classroom discussions to extracurricular activities, we aim to foster hearts that are fully devoted to God and minds that are prepared to serve Him.
Discovering and Developing God-Given Gifts
Every student is uniquely gifted by God, and we are committed to helping them discover and develop their talents. Through an atmosphere of wise freedom and tailored opportunities, we encourage personal growth that reflects each student’s individuality and God’s plan for their life.
Building a Christ-Centered Community
We believe education is a sacred partnership between the home, church, and school, guided by the Holy Spirit. Parents hold the primary responsibility for their children’s education, and we are honored to walk alongside them in this calling. Together, we mold the lives of future generations, providing Christ-centered training, application, and example in all we do.
A Life-Long Love for Learning
We are passionate about cultivating a love for intellectual and cultural development. Excellence in education means nurturing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. We encourage students to:
- Seek truth, beauty, and virtue in all areas of life.
- Think critically and solve problems logically.
- Communicate effectively through insightful reading, incisive writing, and persuasive speaking.
- Develop physical fitness and well-being as part of their God-given stewardship.
Preparing Servant Leaders
Our mission extends beyond the classroom. We seek to prepare students to impact society as humble servant leaders who model Christ in their character, citizenship, and actions. Equipped with moral strength, spiritual discernment, and academic integrity, our students are ready to make a difference in their communities and beyond.
For over five decades, we have remained dedicated to these guiding principles, striving to glorify God in all we do. We invite you to join us on this journey as we continue to educate and inspire students for His glory.
