School Reviews

We are new to CCS, and we love the school. Small class sizes, caring and competent teachers, and a well-rounded experience for our daughter - academically, spiritually, athletically, and artistically - have made our time at CCS a great experience. Additionally, CCS has a College Credit Plus program in which nine of their teachers are adjunct professors, and they offer 18 CCP classes on the CCS campus during regular school hours, and CCS teachers teach the classes. Cincinnati Christian School is a fantastic place.

The quality of education at CCS has far surpassed our expectations. Small class sizes allows teachers to develop relationships with each student and cater the method of instruction and guidance to the student's strengths. Goals are set high and ids are challenged to meet them with plenty of coaching and help along the way. CCS is teaching kids to love learning, love God and love people. How refreshing it is to know that our kids are being mentored by staff and teachers that are truly following in Christ's footsteps and are after His heart. The kids are being taught to reach out and impact the world they live in and they're developing the skills needed to do just that. The love of God is apparent in all CCS staff members and teachers; we could not ask for better people to lead this young generation and equip with them with tools to make a difference in the world and succeed at all of their endeavors. CCS truly is a family, they lift each other up consistently and our family has been blessed to make lifelong friends at CCS.

When we moved our children from another private Christian school setting to CCS, we most appreciated:-The sincerity of being truly Christ centered. Faith isn't just a Bible class or chapel at CCS, but lived and breathed with a refreshing authenticity by its teachers.-The wider academic range. Rather than teaching only superior students, CCS encourages average students via level-appropriate curriculum.
