What Central Christian School does

Central Christian School is a private K-12 Christian school operated by Central Community Church, located on a single campus at 17395 State Hwy 104 in Robertsdale, Alabama. The school serves approximately 300 students spanning preschool (K3-K5) through 12th grade, integrating a Biblical worldview with college-preparatory academics across dual diploma tracks (Honors, College Preparatory, General). Its core offering is a complete K-12 education supplemented by preschool programs, summer day camp (K4-6th grade), homeschool athletics participation, and a competitive athletics program in the Panhandle Christian Conference.

The school relies on third-party curriculum providers (Abeka for preschool and elementary, BJU Press for middle/high school) and operates standard school administration technology, including the FACTS Family Portal for grades, events, homework, lunch ordering, and tuition billing; ProCare for summer camp registration; and the BSN Sports sideline platform for spirit store merchandise. Central Christian School holds dual accreditation (AISA and Cognia) and is an approved Education Service Provider for the Alabama CHOOSE Act education savings account program.

The business model is tuition-driven subscription revenue with ancillary fees. Families pay a $200 non-refundable application fee per student, plus tuition billed annually or via monthly FACTS automatic drafts (May-April), with a 10% sibling discount and a 4th-child-free waiver. Additional revenue streams include a summer day camp ($60 registration plus $185/week full-time or $95/week part-time), spirit store merchandise, and administrative/athletic fees. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via campus tours, an online FACTS application portal, Open House events (e.g., January 29, 2026), church partnerships, and word-of-mouth referrals across Baldwin County and the Alabama/Florida Panhandle region.
