Community Christian

This school is one of the best that can be found in the Denver area, either public or private. There is a new administrator who is very enthusiastic, energetic and wants to make CCS the best Christ-centered school anywhere. We have already had two boys graduate from here and they are doing very well in college. They are in the Honors programs and received several scholarships for acedemics and athletics. For a small school they are very competitive in sports, and consistently rank in the top 5 in the state for 1a teams. Most importantly they teach a strong biblical world view and help the kids to grow strong in Christ. The teachers love the kids and overall the parents are very active in the school. We still have a daughter in the highschool and can't imagine sending her anywhere else.

No, this isn't a perfect school, but what school is. I am truly thankful for teachers who truly care about the students, and are willing to help them when they are struggling. The Principal and staff are always willing to listen to our concerns as parents, and help in making things better. The students are treated with love and respect, and students are helped when they are having a hard time with their school work. I have worked at several private schools, and CCS is more caring, teaches straight from God's word, teaches the children what it means to have a personal relationship with Christ, and is no way near a strict as some of the schools I have worked at, or my oldest child graduated from. I think CCS is a great school.

What a disgrace and disappointment! The teachers all have their own legalistic agenda. The youngest students are yelled at and belittled for talking or walking down the wrong hallway. The middle school and high school students are constantly serving detentions for having their shirts untucked, asking a question or for helping a fellow student with a homework assignment. The classroom management is so poor that the teachers, by their own admission, are unable to teach the subject matter. The majority of teachers just read the text book aloud and assign some busy seat work for the students to complete independently while the teacher checks his/her email. Many of the positive comments posted in November 2010 were a result of a plea from the administration for marketing purposes and were written by staff and long time church members. If you are seriously considering sending your child here, please observe a class for an hour before making any commitments.

I have had all 4 of my boys attend Community Christian. Three of them are now in college or have finished college and have done very well. My oldest graduating in the top 3 in his class. My youngest is still attending. This school has made an impact on my children and those that have graduated have made lasting friendships. The oldest 2 attending summer impromptu bible studies in the summer with his fellow classmates even though it has been 5 and 6 years since they have graduated. It is so rewarding to watch these 4 young men grow up and see how well they are doing and I know that a lot of this is due to the teachers and the student they have been around for the last 19+ years that our family has been a part of CCS.

My son has been going to CCS since kindergarten. He's now a senior. It's been a financial sacrifice, but we feel very fortunate that we've been able to send him to this school, instead of to a public school. Of course, issues have come up over the years, as they're bound to in 13 years. Some things have happened in the past that we weren't happy about, but the staff has always tried to do what's best for the kids. It's a Christ-centered school, and the faculty cares about the kids, and the parents support each other and the other kids, not just their own. That said, you get out of it what you put into it - as with anything in life. If you're thinking about sending your child(ren) here, but you're not sure what to think after reading the conflicting reviews, you should come visit and check it out for yourself. That's the only way to really know if it's right for you. Because everyone develops opinions based upon their own experiences, and based upon the way THEY see things. Unless they're just like you in every way, you're unlikely to feel exactly the same. And remember, the only thing constant is change. God bless.

I've got two (2) daughters at CCS. My oldest is a senior and my youngest is a sophomore. We've been at CCS for thirteen (13) years. My wife and I have been extremely happy with the education my daughters have gotten. I feel my oldest daughter has been properly prepared for college with the AP classes she's taken and she scored in the 75th percentile nationwide on the ACT test. Both my daughters play all the Varsity sports offered at CCS. You'd be very hard pressed to find a private christian 1A school in the entire Denver Metro area that has as good of an athletic program as CCS.

When we came to CCS last year, all the students welcomed my daughter with open arms... it's like a big family here- no clicks, and no exclusions ever...We all watch out for each other and support each other. Even the parents are inclusive! This school is the "real deal". They walk the walk!

We have 2 kids attending CCS. My oldest is a senior and I'm so thankful he has spent 13 years at this school. Not only have our kids received a great education they have had individual attention with teachers, when needed, and the ability to walk right into our administrators office for guidance. How thankful we are for teachers who love the Lord and model that to 2 young men. CCS has had it's unfortunate issues, like most private schools. What a testimony that they have an amazing board and church that supported the school through the difficult times and now that we've made it through those times we see the strength of the student body, the strength of the volunteers and the strength of the leadership team. God has his hand on this school and what a privilege it is to be a part of it.
