Community Christian School
About the School
- Community Christian School is the result of a vision of immigrants from the Netherlands almost a century ago.
- With much prayer and planning, they felt the Lord leading them in the Pease area for a school that focuses on a Christ-centered education.
- Parents desire a school that is Christ-centered and reinforces the values taught both at home and at church.
- Parents instill God's values and commands in their children's lives.
- CCS is the extension of the Christian family.
- Church, home and school work simultaneously to fulfill this goal.
- Community Christian School was founded in 1914.
- The immigrant parents were committed to the idea of providing an education that had God's Word as its core.
- That is still true to this date.
- Currently we are a school of 114 students in Pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.
- Our families come from over fifteen different Christian churches and hail from the Milaca, Princeton and surrounding areas.
