High School

High school is a vital training ground for a mature life–from continued education to the impact one makes in a community. As a fully accredited high school, Central Christian is equipping generations of young people for lives of servant leadership and success, grounded in strong relationship with Jesus Christ.

Excellent Academics

Central Christian High School offers a rigorous program of instruction designed to prepare students for college and future career pursuits. The academic program includes honors and Dual Credit college courses in World Literature, Advanced Lit/Comp, U.S. History, and Human Biology/Lab. Students are taught to think critically and to develop analytical skills for the present and their future.

In order to give our students the best opportunity for success at the next level, our high school graduation requirements are more rigorous than the state of Oregon standards.  We require 1 more math and 2 more science credits to graduate.  We believe this is a direct correlation to 44% of our graduates pursuing STEM majors at the next level in contrast to 18% of high school graduates nationally.

Opportunities through Electives

Electives offer an excellent opportunity for students to try new things in a safe environment.  Electives in Arts, Music, Leaderships, Athletics, and Technology are offered to help students discover and explore areas of interest and passion.  Click here to see the electives availalble this semester for our high school students.

Mentoring Relationships

A key component of academic success for students is the relationship they have with their teacher. Central Christian High School teachers are professionally and spiritually prepared to meet the academic and spiritual needs of each student. Faculty members are placed in areas of responsibility and ministry where their expertise, gifts, and passion can be maximized. Curriculum, instruction, athletics, fine arts, extra-curricular events, and activities are carefully planned to create an environment where students grow in their personal faith, relationships with each other, and academic ability.

"I took three dual credit classes: English through George Fox, and Human Anatomy & Physiology and American History from NNU.  I was also able to take an online Algebra class for college credit from NNU.  All my classes transferred easily to Bushnell University.  Taking dual credit classes at CCS saved me time.  Although I didn't overload my schedule to finish early at Bushnell, my freshman year was significantly easier.  Having the extra credits allowed me to check off some common classes that all my peers still have to take. Common General Education classes might overwhelm freshmen, so having a jump ahead through dual credit freed up an otherwise packed first semester."

Spiritual Formation and Servant Leadership

Bible instruction is foundational at Central Christian High School, with many opportunities for missions outreach to others, in our community and around the world. High school students attend a weekly chapel with worship and speakers from inside and outside our community.

Central Christian’s ultimate goal is to graduate students who are prepared academically and spiritually to function effectually as Christ followers in their community by passionately pursuing the mind of Christ, fostering relationships, and manifesting servant leadership.
