  • I'm incredibly grateful for our experience at Community Christian School. Since transferring my kids here, we've seen such a positive change in their attitude toward learning and personal growth. The teachers are not only dedicated and compassionate but also truly committed to nurturing both academic excellence and Christian values. The school provides a safe, supportive, and faith-centered environment where my children feel loved, encouraged and valued. They have gained a bonus family at CCS! Moving them here was one of the best decisions I've made for their education and spiritual development!

  • Our family is so blessed to have a biblically founded and integrated school in Fort Dodge. As parents, we don’t have to worry about what our children are being taught at school. Kids are free to be kids, but in a respectful manner that doesn’t affect the learning of others. Our children are given the opportunity to excel where they can and given extra help when needed. The teachers and staff care for and love the kids they teach. We love that CCS gives our kids a biblical base for their academics, and highly recommend it to anyone considering the best education for their child.

  • As parents, one of the most important choices we have made is where to send our children to school. For our family, CCS is more than just a place for academics. It is a place where our kids are known, loved, and taught from a strong biblical foundation.

    We chose CCS because we value Christian education. We want our children to not only excel in reading, math, and science, but to grow in their faith and character. At CCS, every subject is taught through the lens of a biblical worldview, which helps our kids see that God is at the center of all things, both in the classroom and in life.

    We also deeply appreciate the safe and nurturing environment at CCS. Knowing that our children are surrounded by teachers and staff who love Jesus and genuinely care about their well-being gives us peace of mind every day.

    CCS has become a true partner in our parenting journey. Our kids are not only learning how to think critically and work hard, but how to walk in truth, kindness, and purpose. We are so thankful to be part of a school community that shares our values and invests in the next generation with excellence and heart.
