Our CAT scores returned with very encouraging results. All classes reported results above the national average in grade equivalency and overall the school averaged almost two years ahead of the national average.
We want to thank you parents for your support. We couldn’t teach your students to this degree without a good school/home partnership.

Every year we announce any staff changes that will be taking place when we resume school. We are happy to say that all of our main staff are planning to be on duty when school starts in the fall. There will only be some minor adjustments in some administrative and teacher’s aide positions.

I do want to tell you about an exciting change that we are making with one of our existing staff. We are expanding the job responsibilities of Faith Mason to include the duties of an Instructional Coordinator.
Instructional Coordinators by federal definition evaluate how well a school’s curriculum or plan of study meets students’ needs. Based on their research and observations of instructional practice, they recommend improvements. Instructional Coordinators research teaching methods and techniques and develop procedures to ensure that instructors are implementing the curriculum successfully and meeting program goals.They play a large role in improving the quality of education in the classroom.

Faith is well qualified to handle the requirements of this position. She currently holds two education degrees. One is a BS in Human Development and the second is a Master of Education. She is licensed at the Preschool -
8th level, the Middle School level, and finishing her High School level license this summer. She is very passionate about quality education and has done an excellent job teaching at City Christian School for the last eight years. She will continue to teach two English classes and Worship Leaders Training. The remainder of her time will be given to her new responsibilities.

Please keep us in your prayers this summer as we are working hard at making all the necessary preparations for next year.

Serving in Christ,
Edward Mason
Principal

We recognize that due to our ever changing society, deciding where and how your preschooler’s foundation is cultivated is more important than ever. Our Summer Program is structured and focuses on educational activities. There will be thematic units such as bugs and animals along with outdoor exploration and science activities.

Classes are designed around a fun and caring environment where your child will have the opportunity to learn spiritual, academic, and social principles preparing them for kindergarten.

Whether you need half day, full day, extended care, or just a couple of days a week, this is an outstanding preschool your family will be excited about! It is led by a talented team, committed to excellence, character development and practical application setting your child up for success. It’s been a tremendous blessing to many families; I know it will be for yours as well.

Tuesday, March 3rd, City Christian School hosted “Career and Community Service Fair 2009.” The goal was to introduce our youth to various careers, provide partnerships through community service and expose students to various internship opportunities.

We appreciated the contributions from our local businesses and organizations. Over 30 vendors brought an array of valuable information to share about their organization, industry, or ministry.

Students were given the opportunity to find out if a field of interest may be the right path for them.

The staff and faculty will be working alongside parents to set a foundation of strong moral character in your child’s life. The classes are structured around a fun and caring environment where your child will have the opportunity to learn spiritual, academic, and social principles preparing them for kindergarten.

Whether you need half day, full day, extended care, or just a couple of days a week, this is an outstanding preschool your family will be excited about. Applications are now being accepted, but space is limited!
