Our Partnership with Christian Families

Covenantal Community

Chattanooga Christian School (CCS) is a covenantal, Christ-centered community dedicated to partnering with Christian families to nurture students in both faith and learning.

Growth Together

Through a partnership between home, church, and school, students grow in their academic abilities and in their walk with Christ—learning to live faithfully, think critically, and serve others.

Shared Beliefs & Purpose

Families are invited to affirm our Statement of Faith and join us in a shared commitment to raising children in a Christ-centered environment.

Faith & Church Commitment

As part of our admissions process, we ask that at least one parent or guardian profess faith in Jesus Christ and actively participate in a local Christian church.
