- As a private Christian school, CCS is a “religious organization.” While commerce laws prohibiting arbitrary discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age and disability apply generally to religious organizations, a religious organization is allowed to discriminate on the basis of its religious beliefs. This exception is rooted in the constitutional right to free exercise of religion.
  
  As a private school, CCS considers academic performance to be criteria relevant to decisions regarding student admission and retention.
  
  As a religious organization, CCS will neither commence nor continue admission, enrollment or employment if it is believed by CCS that such will cause confusion about, conflict with, or compromise of the school’s mission to provide a distinctly Christian education from a Christ-centered worldview.
  
  In that regard, CCS conforms to the orthodox teachings of the historical Christian Church as set forth in the sixty-six books of the Holy Bible, all of which we believe to be our infallible and authoritative rule of faith and practice.
  
  This policy applies to and is incorporated into all CCS affairs, including all CCS contracts, programs, activities, facilities, publications, and events.
- Christian Community Schools exists to glorify God by providing a Christ-centered education that develops students spiritually, academically, socially, and physically.
