Central Christian School
Central Christian School educates children ages 3 through 6th Grade in the greater St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area. Unapologetically Christian, academically challenging, and beautifully diverse (racially, socio-economically, academically), Central seeks to lay in students a foundation for our city and nation’s future thought-leaders, problem-solvers, and change-agents. We believe that research-based best practices, a comprehensive, integrated curriculum, and daily exposure to varied perspectives equip our students to love learning, think critically, apply knowledge in relevant ways, and engage with a changing world. Educators teach students to understand themselves and their uniqueness while simultaneously valuing and serving others in their classroom, school, city, and world.
