What Central College Christian Academy does

Central College Christian Academy (also known as Central College Christian School, or CCCS) is a private Christian school serving preschool through Grade 5 students on the campus of Central College Church in Westerville, Ohio, in the Northeast Columbus metropolitan area. Founded in 1975 as part of the church's "Kingdom of God Made Visible" mission, the school offers three core programs: a Preschool for ages 2.5-5 with part-day and full-day (7:30 am-5:30 pm) options; an all-day Kindergarten with a maximum 11:1 student-teacher ratio; and Elementary Grades 1-5 capped at 22 students per classroom. All K-5 teachers are certified by the Ohio Department of Education, and the school is chartered by the State of Ohio and accredited through ACSI membership.

The school's academic program integrates a biblical worldview with Ohio State Learning Standards, drawing on ACSI and Summit Ministries Bible curricula alongside secular textbooks. Enrichment programming includes weekly Spanish instruction for all grades, violin in K-3 with band/choir options in grades 4-5, studio art with an annual campus art show, formal physical education, and a STEM/technology track featuring a 1:1 Chromebook program (grades 1-5, tablets in kindergarten), Code.org and Kodable coding curricula, a maker-space robotics lab, and an HD green screen studio that produces a student-run Monday morning newscast. Smartboards with wireless classroom sound systems are standard in every classroom, and Google Classroom/G Suite manage instructional delivery. Special needs support is provided by intervention specialists, and the school accepts EdChoice, Jon Peterson Special Needs, and Autism Scholarships.

CCCS generates revenue primarily through annual K-5 tuition of $8,300 (paid in ten monthly installments), supplemented by preschool tuition, a $75 application fee, a $275+ tiered placeholder enrollment fee, a $350 annual facility fee, hot lunch ($4.50 plus $0.75 for milk), and usage-based extended-day care (Before Care $18/day, YWCA Columbus after-care partnership). Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the school's website, phone inquiries, in-person tours, Shadow Days, and church-driven community referrals. Administrative operations run on RenWeb/FACTS SIS. The school operates as a nonprofit ministry of Central College Church, with no venture funding or external investment, and currently employs 26 staff serving its single Westerville campus.
