Christianity is based in community, and there is no better way to learn and grow in Christian education than experiencing life to the fullest at any of our events throughout the year. Our Enrichment Program is to encourage talented children to take risks and excel academically. Identified children are encouraged to stretch for new learning in a safe, nurturing environment that treats mistakes as another way to learn. Our dedicated team of Intervention Specialists seek to help those students who need a little extra help. They deploy proven learning and behavioral strategies that ensure students achieve their full potential.

Programs, activities, learning moments, and enrichment that are the calling card and hallmark of CCCS. Our Distinctives are a promise to families that their child will experience life to its fullest while embraced by the teachings and educations of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, as part of them growing up in the Christian faith. Central College Christian School not only provides a rigorous academic curriculum, we offer programming that contributes to the education of the whole child. These educational building blocks are intentionally combined to make a Central College Christian School education unique among area schools. https://www.ourcccs.org/chapel-information daily 0.75 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/1d93c8ed-4a44-473e-969f-6df097ca00bf/IMG_4846_Malcolm+3004c.jpg Chapel Information Central College Christian School is dedicated to providing each of our students an education based on academic rigor immersed in Biblical Worldview. Our faculty strives to equip independent learners to successfully navigate a culture in which they ultimately will both glorify God and serve others. To that end, students attend weekly chapel services hosted by Central College Church pastors and worship/music leadership. Read below what our Senior Pastor, Dr. Rev. Malcolm Davis has to say about his experiences in leading weekly kid’s chapel. https://www.ourcccs.org/preschool-staff daily 0.75 2024-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/cde0a1f7-6086-4633-b3aa-88f15c21dded/Hope+Finished.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/3d94572c-5103-49b3-b1ca-2e0efbc57822/Stacy_Cochran.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/3cb55780-76f0-4737-a08a-1dbb4bcd98a7/Niki_Clark.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/1619629e-722d-4df9-b7c3-e5bef5c2492b/Tara_Andrews.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/10bc76a7-8c43-40c2-938b-5e8cec2b08fb/Taylor+Final.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/22aa7136-4de0-49d5-ae02-43694a8a9a3f/Katie_Brooks.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/c1d7986e-0d5d-4fe5-bb36-00f60bca9888/Joanne_Durbin.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/c46acc2f-b6fb-4618-a6cb-ef4acca7468d/Wendy_Flores.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/2a59a476-0023-4cff-b084-41767a4d02b6/Holli+Finished.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/4688c194-6dd7-415f-bdbd-5b945ffb0222/Nancy_Fry.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/5e574147-6a10-454e-a5ef-3f6eef6b262e/Amy_Glorioso.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/e7488412-1936-4050-801e-02e3ed1a64f6/Hannah+Finished.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/2d23e645-5e65-42c3-9a32-5afdc2ae0de8/Ruth_Janzsen.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/5899ee6a-90ad-48bf-87b3-3786439aeb4b/Jen_Martin.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/9cab8053-2b54-4c6c-aad9-4c6bb9459e73/Angie_Merrin.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/149ac2e2-e3c1-4c82-9554-53a379c49db5/Barb_OBrien.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/dd446020-30b5-4099-ba66-4e01f0906af5/Kristan.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/849d6954-012d-44bb-b992-7a654408a878/Jessica_Stewart.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/5f83d2c4-3fa7-4549-aaff-ac120bb010e2/Hannah+T+Final.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/8552b173-0fa1-48fc-9067-fbfca6c13626/Mary+Finished.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/94fee15e-1600-4ff2-a257-f3dd36cdd7e9/Linda_White.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/e0db2640-1fb8-42a5-8831-419ed8c0fde3/Sandi+Finished.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/08acaec9-e421-4363-8122-2a9a29e4950f/Ashley+FInished.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/e625d613-5da4-4e8d-8cac-c0a88605888e/Angie+Payne+Finished.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/060266e0-d422-43a5-b64c-31b377ae1369/Abbie+Final.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/39df9a14-cf6f-40cc-9bda-aa229c28d244/Bridget+Ellis+Finished.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/753da765-f6d3-470e-8272-317cb482bed8/Charlotte+Ferguson+Finished.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/fbead0cf-546a-417b-973a-70b53882a735/Ann+Rochon+Finished.jpg https://www.ourcccs.org/christmasprograms daily 0.75 2022-02-10 https://www.ourcccs.org/k5-spring-musical-2022 daily 0.75 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/0ab9e8e8-131c-4890-b43b-45e77b85b5db/download.jfif https://www.ourcccs.org/home daily 1.0 2026-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/9e4c92b3-6602-4e9a-aa2c-be7a9996fa2a/CCP06250.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/2e2ce55e-eebf-4dba-8f68-62330afb66df/CCP06279.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/3bf210a4-ab4c-4638-aba5-da0e81bc0fec/CCP06255.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/0b89af3e-5cdb-46e9-b0fe-0ec06bfd7639/CCP06198.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/0580ec7b-8a96-4a60-94a0-b13ce98554d4/CCP06263.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ffd43ef6cbe2263e85d7e/a17f1755-3bf1-4729-952b-6b7503dfd4c9/IMG_1667.JPG Home - Central College Church Seated on the historic Central College Church campus, Central College Christian School is just one part of the overall church’s vision and mission of the Kingdom of God made visible in all that we do.
