is christian education best for your student?
As a parent, one of the most important decisions you can make is choosing where to send your children to school. You want a challenging curriculum in a safe and supportive environment that provides ample opportunities for your student to flourish.

Training young minds to think with a biblical worldview is a high calling. Christian Unified Schools offers me the opportunity to achieve this task and make an impact on the next generation for Christ.
Melissa Johnson
The true joy of working at Christian throughout the past fifteen years has been encouraging students in their spiritual, as well as their academic, development. Helping them to not only navigate literature, writing, theatre, and speaking skills, but to do so through the lens of a Christian worldview. I have created lifelong mentorships with my students and have stayed in contact with so many of my alumni, watching the foundation they received at CHS unfold as they mature and follow God’s path into their adult lives.
Eileen Hollison
I love helping junior high students who are emerging into adulthood, thinking for themselves, and taking ownership of their relationship with God. Each of them will be influencers, and it is a blessing to support them on their path to leadership.
Michael Folsom
I love to share the wonders of history with my students...to show how the hand of God has influenced our world. I also want to share my life experiences as a teacher, coach, college student, father, and soldier to help the students be more well rounded individuals.
Tim Brown
I love having the opportunity to impact a student's life through studying the Bible together.
Linda Breeden
Because I have a counseling background as well, I find teaching incorporates many of my skills and gifts. One of the beauties of teaching literature is in the ability to provoke thoughts about beliefs, evaluate decisions by characters, and value objective truth. The real power is in teaching literature from the perspective of the Christian worldview. I teach to share Christ with my students and to help them reconcile that life issues and all philosophical assumptions are only answered in the sovereignty of God’s will and through filtering them through His word.
Brian Blake
I work at Christian because I whole heartily believe in our school's mission statement. I am passionate about teaching my students to think, learn, and live from a Biblical worldview. My biggest reward is being able to teach my students to understand how much they are loved by Jesus, that they are truly special, and that God has a purpose for them.
Casey Kunde
I chose to work as a counselor in order to help kids discover their strengths and talents. Each student comes to school with different motivations. My job is to help students discover their interests and to support their goal formation while building a plan for the future.

I am serving the Lord in a ministry calling to which I am honored to be used by Him to impact and pour into youth! I've taught in the past and I do what I do now because I love to help student-athletes achieve their goals and dreams. In obedience to the Lord, I am honored to serve at CHS as Dean of Students, Associate Athletic Director, and Head Girls Basketball Coach!

Christian Unified Schools have a consistent and multi-generational legacy of excellence in providing education that is anchored in biblical standards. As someone who attended Christian Elementary School and later public schools and secular university, I can attest to the positive and lasting impact that biblical truth can form during early childhood. Through my early experience at Christian school, I feel that I was better equipped to meet personal challenges and ultimately choose to commit to my faith in Christ as a young adult. I have also known many successful people over the years who have attended the schools and feel that they were positively impacted by their time there. Christian Elementary East has been excellent for our son from kindergarten through second grade. The caring and competent staff have gone above and beyond to facilitate quality education throughout the pandemic. Within a couple days of the shutdown, they provided swift

What an amazing school! It starts with Pastor Jeremiah and the entire staff from K-12 to make this a great school for all three of my kids. They have an open-door policy and are always available to talk about any topic we may have about the daily changes young kids go through. CHRISTIAN ELEMENTARY EAST

A biblical school, with morals and values! They not only help in the education of our children, but the love they share does not go unnoticed! I couldn't speak more highly of this amazing staff! We have yet to experience a teacher who doesn't shine the light of the Lord and love on our children and families! I am beyond thankful for all the things Christian Unified embodies.

Christian Unified Schools is a great choice for academics, extra-curricular activities, and of course the atmosphere. The school is constantly striving for excellence in all these areas and has only improved since my alumni days. Christian Unified Schools has stood the test of time, and I am fortunate to be able to send my own children to the same school that so enriched my life. As a former public school teacher, I have had many friends question my reasons for choosing a private over a public school for my family. The simple answer comes down to the SMALL Christian community and loving staff that deeply impacts every student! Biblical worldview taught throughout each subject matter and even woven into the sports programs equip these kids for the world with a solid foundation of smarts, strength, and truth! You owe it to your kids to look into such a wonderful school

We love this school. Our daughters attended throughout elementary, and we have found the environment very worthwhile. One of our girls was struggling with her reading, but once she got into a couple of the classes here, the teachers helped her make something "click," and now she can't and WON'T stop reading. All of the teachers, staff, and administration have made it a great environment and are extremely helpful and available any time we have questions or concerns. For a "small" school, there are lots of opportunities for the students. Also, because it is a "small" school, there are also lots of opportunities for parents to be involved in their children's education. We are happy to be in this environment!! CHRISTIAN ELEMENTARY

I am extremely pleased with this school. My kids have both been going there since kindergarten. The teachers are committed to the kids and foster a loving educational environment that is centered around the Bible. My kids love school and love learning. They have made lifelong friends and are truly a small family. There are so many opportunities for kids at this school from band, drama and sports. I highly recommend it. Worth every penny.

I can't say enough good things about Christian Elementary School (West Campus). The teachers and staff are some of the most amazing, loving human beings I have ever met. I have 2 students attending (and 1 more next year). The curriculum is challenging, and the extra classes (PE, Music, Computers, and Spanish) are phenomenal. There is not a day that goes by that I don't thank my lucky stars that my kids are learning in a safe, encouraging, and Christ-centered environment. There is no dollar amount that I can place on that peace of mind. Worth every penny! CHRISTIAN ELEMENTARY WEST

Our family was so fortunate to be able to send our daughters to the East campus for kinder through second grade. Those teachers are the DREAM TEAM for getting your children grounded in their education and more importantly weaving Biblical views into every aspect of the day, what a blessing!! The faculty also were so great and helpful at every turn, if we ever needed anything, the office staff, class aids and the principle were there to answer our questions. We felt like the school did a phenomenal job communicating what was happening in the class or on the campus in general as well. Additionally in attending school at CES we gained more than a great educational foundation for our children, we also gained a wonderful community of parents, teachers and staff to support us along the way, and that is irreplaceable!

I'm so glad I am able to send my kids to this school. It is worth every penny. I am a former alumni K-12 and I know how special this school is. The community of students and parents is amazing and the teachers truly care about your kids. Their sports programs are amazing. You could not ask for a better elementary school principal than Mrs. Hester. I hope she never leaves! Mr. Hines (4th grade) is hands down one of the best teachers I've ever known. He will most likely be my son's favorite teacher of all time. He made such a positive impact on my son's life at a very hard time. I will be forever grateful to him for that. Each teacher has inspired my children and all three of them love going to this school. CHRISTIAN ELEMENTARY WEST

Christian Unified Schools has made such a difference in our family. We have had 3 students attend (2 currently). Our experience has been very good. Our oldest son was VERY prepared for college (graduated in 3 yrs) and went on to earn a Master's degree. The teachers, staff, and administration really set a family atmosphere. What an honor for our sons to be able to sit in a chapel service and hear Dr. David Jeremiah speak to them! You can't get that anywhere else. Academics are challenging, yet help is available if needed. Sports- our sons have participated in varsity sports, with one earning a Division 1 scholarship in baseball. The athletic department does a fantastic job. Many athletes go on to play at the next level. Athletic teams consistently overachieve compared to our enrollment numbers. If you are considering private education, this is a great option. Christian environment/leadership, excellent
