Elementary Teacher (2024-25)

We are Christian — a community of students, parents, teachers, and administrators with a shared vision of creating a biblically-grounded foundation for students to stand on throughout their lives impacting the world for the glory of God.

Christian School District educates students in a Christ—centered atmosphere by discipling students toward academic, artistic, and athletic excellence.  We partner with mission-minded families to integrate Christian faith and academic learning for their children from preschool through 12th grade.

As Christian School District pursues its mission, fulfills its purpose, and lives out its vision, the following values will be reflected in the behavior and character of the community: authentically Christian, pursuing truth, unity in Christ, redemptive relationships, and servant discipleship.
