“In the fall of 1970 a group of pastors, Christian business leaders and educators joined together and committed to the Lord to create Greater Cincinnati Christian High School. Classes began in the fall of 1971 and were held at Springdale Baptist Church. Then In the fall of 1971 Tri-County Assembly of God Church committed to the Lord to open Tri-County Christian Elementary School serving Kindergarten through Third Grade, later adding fourth, fifth and sixth Grade in 1973. Those two commitments would merge together in 1975, creating what would eventually become Cincinnati Christian Schools, Inc.” Check out the entire history of this school.

Visiting CCS
CCS provides multiple ways for you to visit the school. Open Houses provide a “one-stop shop” so that you can meet all teachers and be given a tour of either campus by one of the students at CCS. Another way for your child to get an up-close and personal look at the school is by shadowing another student throughout the school day. Your child will follow one student throughout an entire school day, seeing firsthand what it’s like to be a CCS student. Lastly, you can schedule your own personal campus tour where the school’s administration will give you a tour of either campus, allowing you one-on-one attention to answer any questions you may have. Visiting a school is one way to decide whether or not it will be a good fit for your child.

Tuition and Fees
Currently, tuition ranges from $7,128 to $8,448, depending on how many children are attending and which grade levels they are in. CCS does have a robust scholarship program for those who believe strongly in Christian Education, yet can’t afford the tuition.

The school board, administration, parents, and alumni have joined forces to realize a shared vision for a Digital Conversion. The purpose of the Digital Conversion initiative is to employ technology in ways that improve teaching and learning through increased student engagement while teaching the CCS, college ready Course of Study.  It is imperative to note that this project is a curriculum and instruction initiative, not a technology initiative.  Through this paradigm shift in classroom teaching methodology, we are changing the way teachers teach and students learn, while utilizing an awesome set of technology tools.”
