Coast Christian School

My children have been attending CCS for over 5 years, and I must say things have definetely changed over the years. The biggest fault this school seems to have is inconsistencies, and plenty of them. To start, the teaching staff has changed every year with an exception of a few teachers. As I once heard someone say,"The principal is cleaning house." It's very agonizing to wonder to will be your childs next teacher, because odds are it's once again going to be a complete stranger. The school is short staffed so you will often see the care and recreation crew also cleaning the bathrooms, the classrooms, etc. Also, this year there isn't a student honor council or 8th grade class officers which robs the student of exercising their leadership potential. And I'm pretty sure there isn't a cheerleading team this year like this website states. There are many other changes/inconsistencies that have happened over time, too many to list. Aside from these flaws, the office staff and supporting staff are excellent workers, maybe because they have been here for years. Also, I have no gripes about the quality of education my children have received. Diverse student body with no bullying.

Coast is a true blessing from the Lord. We live in a very upscale neighborhood where people pay mightly so they can send their children to the public schools and we do not. This is because the spiritual aspect of their schooling is so important. Coast gets an A+ is this area, as it is truly a Christ-centered education, which is exceedingly rare, if not non-existent, elsewhere in the broader area. On top of that, check out the test scores (very high) and compare it to the tuition (very reasonable) - it is amazing. That is because these teachers are truly dedicated to the task.

Enriching and engaging preschool. Caring teachers who provide loving yet controlled environment for children to grow and learn. Excellent communication between teachers and parents. Age appropriate activities to stimulate creativity and imagination with plenty of play time and learning time. Would highly recommend to any parent looking for quality pre-school infant through pre-K.

Nice school. Bible based education. Great Principal ! My child loves the teachers and fellow students and loves learning. He is being given good foundation here. Teachers are always open and available for communication.

This will be our third year at Coast and they have exceeded our expectation. Our son came from another local Christian school that lacked many of the standards that we feel a Christian school should possess. Thank God for Coast Christian School!!!! With an unbelievable Christ-centered atmosphere and curriculum, not to mention a stellar administration and staff, we have been blown away with how our son and daughter have excelled academically, biblically and socially. One of the perks is that the tuition is extremely reasonable for the quality of education and Christ-like environment. I recommend Coast Christian School to every parent I meet.

My son started attending Coast in 3rd grade and we noticed a change in how much he loved school almost immediately. This last year he had a male fourth grade teacher that he talked about all the time. My son knows Bible stories now and has a love for school and learning that he did not have before. I would recommend Coast to any parent.

The school is good academically but I find it a little bit expensive, specially if you have more than 1 child. I also believe the church should support the school more so the prices could come down a little bit. When my children were there ( I pulled them out to compare it with another private school).

Academically, this school Rocks! However, if your child is one who needs extra nurturing, this is not the place for them. Discipline is not consistent - and being a tattle-tell is rewarded (biblical principle???). Some of the teachers are sarcastic yet discipline the kids for using the same language. The kids talk disrespectfully to each other. Enrollment has dropped nearly 40% over last two years. Few parents are involved in more than just their child's classroom! Teachers are rarely a part of the Parent & Teacher Fellowship. Some great teachers...some past time to go. Great vision...needs to be executed!

As a professional it is extremely important to place your child in a child that has a 'great' match. Coast Christian meets every criteria... God-focused and academically superior. This school by far excels and exceeds the criteria needed for any child to succeed. I am a fully-involved parent who loves what Coast Christian has provided for both of my children in 2nd and 3rd grades.. Few schools can compare..

We are in our second year at Coast Christian School and I could not be happier. The teachers & staff are concerned about building the whole student -- both in academics & Spirit. The principal offers a round table time for parents each month & I have seen many improvements made based on these discussions. My son (1st grade) loves to go to school & is excited about everything he is learning. His teachers have been great with a wonderful balance of structure, discipline & love. Unless God makes a major change in my life, we will be at CCS through 8th grade.
