Graduation
It's hard to express how honored and moved I was to be in the room with such a fine group of young Christians. The speeches were excellent and inspiring. I know without a doubt that with the drive and passion these students possess, Jesus Christ will shine through them into the darkness of the world as they go out and pursue their dreams. I commend the teachers, coaches and principal for doing a job well done. Their commitment to giving the students a firm foundation in His Word will be a gift that will stay with each student for the rest of his/her life. I was a student in a Christian School and it remains an impact on my life and my family's life, as well.
So, Graduates, I say march forward with His Word to guide you. Dream big and put your feet on a course for success. For when you let Jesus Christ shine in your life, exalting Him with praises, knowing always it is through His strength and not your own, He will hear your prayers and give you the desires of your heart. May God's richest blessing be upon you and may you always listen to His small voice.

Why families join the CCS family:
We want our child to learn in an environment that reinforces our values. We have discovered through on-campus visits that CCS shares these values and provides a high-quality education as well. We want our daughter to grow closer to God. The best way to do this is to provide her with the opportunity to immerse herself in a school that teaches God's word.
God is the central focus of our lives. As we walk by faith and not by sight, it is our daily goal to attain His best. We feel the most appropriate way to achieve His best in our daughter's life is to enroll her in a Christian based educational program. The program must meet and or exceed the requirements of society, while focusing on the important God plays in our lives. CCS does just that.
I want to leave a legacy of faith for my son. It is very difficult in today's society to implement Godly values, morals and teachings without the support of a good Christian school. I have been entrusted by God to raise a beautiful son. It is my responsibility as his parent to do what I can to surround him with Godly people who will assist in his training.
We feel that Christian Education is a part of our obligation to "train up a child" according to Proverbs 22:6. CCS exemplifies the Christian doctrine taught in the Bible. We have received positive feedback from other Christian organizations in the and feel it would be irresponsible of us to send her to a secular school.

Why I Love CCS by K-12 Students
Student testimonials:
The best thing that ever happened to me at CCS was that I got saved. A guest speaker came to our chapel and asked anyone who was not a Christian to bow their heads with him. So, I bowed my head and I said a prayer with him. Right then, I was saved. When we went back to class, the teacher said, "Did you like the guest speaker today?" We all answered back, "Yes." |

Kelcie |
|
| I've been at Cypress for seven years now, and since then, I've learned a lot about my faith and how to defend it. The apologetics that I've learned here have given me both a better knowledge of why I believe in Christianity and the tools to share that belief with the world. |

| This year is my first year at CCS and it already feels like home. The spiritual emphasis here is obvious. Everything from the prayers before class begins - to chapel day. It is clear God is number one here. The students are great. My fellow classmates and I freely talk about spiritual things and it is not unusual to hear someone comforting another during difficult times. The teachers really love what they do and they teach with an excitement and enthusiasm every day. |

| CCS has wonderful teachers. All of the teachers at CCS teach us to be more like God. Our teachers not only teach us the curriculum, but give us a whole new insight into our required material. In addition to these applications, the teachers themselves are very godly examples and show us how to act. |

Aaron |
|
| In third grade, the Board President spoke to everyone about accepting Christ. At the end, he asked for anyone who was not saved to come up to the stage. At first, I did not move because I thought I was saved, but then, I began to think about what he said. He said that when a person receives salvation, their attitude should change. I knew my attitude had not changed. I went up there and some of my friends came, too. That's when I was truly saved. |
