Why Choose CCS
You Belong Here.
At Chicago Christian Schools, every student is known, loved, and challenged to grow in faith, character, and learning. From the first high-five to the day they walk across the stage to receive their diploma, each student is valued, transformed, and called to do more - immeasurably more.
Why Families Choose CCS
Chicago Christian Schools serve students in Preschool through 12th Grade across our three campuses in Palos Heights, Tinley Park, and Oak Lawn. Here’s why families say CCS is the right fit:
-
“CCS has proven to be a vibrant Christian community built on Biblical teaching, academic excellence, and a forward-thinking STEM focus—providing a safe environment where families from many backgrounds grow together in faith, learning, and purpose.”
— Keith Gordon -
“We chose CCS because we believe the environment in which our children develop has a direct correlation to how they will thrive as adults. CCS provides 3 recesses and a large play area which allows them the opportunity to be kids, after school enrichment programs which broadens their experience, and a low student to teacher ratio in order to better provide for a better teaching experience for the children.”
— Matt Carlson -
“As parents, we wanted a Christ-centered learning environment where our daughter could grow academically and spiritually. We chose Chicago Christian Schools because we value a strong academic foundation built on biblical truth, kindness, and character. From our first visit, we could feel the warmth and genuine care from the teachers and staff. We knew CCS would be a place where our child would be both challenged and supported, surrounded by educators who lead with faith and love.”
— Ronald and Brittany Howard
“The biblical teachings they receive at home and church are reinforced in their school. They have grown more confident in their faith and love their school!”
