• Are there academic requirements for admission?

  We welcome students with a range of academic abilities, but we want to ensure the best fit. A student’s report cards, standardized testing, and teacher recommendations help us assess readiness for success at CCS. Our high school includes college-prep academics with AP and dual credit opportunities.

• Does my child have to be Christian to attend CCS?

  While we welcome families from a variety of Christian traditions, CCS is a covenant-driven Christian school. At least one parent or guardian must agree with and support our Statement of Faith and be actively engaged in a local church community. Students participate in Bible classes, chapel, and spiritual life activities as part of their daily experience.

  Once you apply, we’ll keep you updated with important next steps, orientation details, and events for new families. You’ll receive access to our Admissions Welcome Series, invitations to connect with other parents, and resources to help you transition into the CCS community.
