I'm so grateful our family is part of Central Christian School. As the mother of two very different children, I have been impressed with how each of my children - with their unique personalities, weaknesses, and strengths - are valued and taught. My husband and I are blessed to know our children are growing up in a racially diverse school where they are learning to live in an authentic community. We would recommend CCS to anyone who desires a place where kids are loved, challenged, and taught to think critically rather than just memorizing facts.
This school is lacking differentiation. They look good on paper, but the teachers are not equipped to teach to all levels of a child. If you want a rigorous, challenging academic school that is very homework driven and teaches to that one super smart child only, this is the school for you! Otherwise it would be beneficial to you to look elsewhere or you will be wasting your time and your child's education and happiness. We were very disappointed in this school in how my kids were taught.
CCS is a very thoughtful school that strives to educate each child according to the way that he/she has been created. It is a rich, diverse educational environment with dedicated teachers and excellent technological resources. It is also a great value for the tuition.
Couldn't be happier with this school -- strong academic program fully integrated with sound Biblical teaching, as well as a delightful community of parents and teachers. Day to day, what I enjoy about CCS is how much my children LOVE to go to school there, the individual attention they receive, and, by extension, how much they are loving learning! There is enthusiasm at CCS and a sense that this school is going great places with elementary education.
an outstanding Christian elementary school.... strong academics, quality teachers and headmaster, producing children with character.
Central Christian School offers a challenging academic environment coupled with sound Biblical teaching. The administration and teaching staff strive toward excellence in educating the students, while at the same time nurturing their spirit to learn. The children are taught and loved for who they are and it shows in their smiling faces as they show up each day for school. I have and will continue to recommend Central Christian School to friends and family.
My kids love going to school every day. I am shocked each year how well my kid's teachers know them and care for them. They are challenged and loved and surrounded by a variety of people, not all one social class. Another unique aspect of the school is that they find where a child thrives and encourages the child in that gift.
We have two boys and one daughter at the school, each with different learning styles and gifts. Not only have the teachers met their specific needs- they have managed to individualize their learning while weaving it into the larger classroom. In addition to preparing our children academically, CCS teachers and staff are training them to be men and women of God with a servant's heart, discerning spirit and love for others. We wouldn't have our children anywhere else.
The school offers little differentiation for various learning styles. This school doesn't understand how to educate boys.
This school offers incredible diversity and excellent community. The 3k and JK program is phenomenal and without reproach. The administration lacks positive guidance, therefore they are currently experiencing extreme turnover in their faculty, which is never a good indicator for overall success. The curriculum is behind like previously mentioned, and the faculty has not properly trained to differentiate for students.
