History of Community Christian School

Community Christian School was founded in 1997 as a ministry of Community Bible Church. CCS began with 32 students in early elementary grades in 1997, and began adding higher grades each year. A new educational building was constructed in 2000 to give the school more classrooms, along with a computer lab, a library/media center and an art room. The school has developed a Fine Arts Department with a full plate of enrichments, complete with band and chorus. A science lab was also added to benefit the middle and high school students.

In June 2003, CCS received its initial accreditation from ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International). They became dually accredited with SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) in 2005. Their nursery and Preschool are also accredited by ACSI.

In 2008, CCS opened a new 24 classroom Nursery/Pre-School building.

CCS has a nursery (for newborns (6 weeks) through two-year-old toddlers, a preschool (for K-3 and K-4), elementary school (for Kindergarten through 5th grade), middle school (for grades 6-8) and high school (for grades 9-12).

CCS runs a summer camp program for ages three-fourteen. Athletic camps have been added for middle and high school students.
