What Cypress Christian School does

Cypress Christian School is an independent, non-denominational, college-preparatory K-12 Christian school founded in 1978 in the Houston metropolitan area, currently serving approximately 850-1,000 students from transitional kindergarten through 12th grade. The school provides a Christ-centered education that integrates a biblical worldview across all academic disciplines, with offerings spanning an elementary school (grades K-5), a middle school (grades 6-8), and a college-preparatory high school (grades 9-12) featuring honors, dual credit, and AP courses, including the College Board AP Capstone designation held by approximately 3,500 high schools worldwide. The school reports a 100% college acceptance rate with average ACT scores of 32 and SAT scores of 1442, and is dually accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and Cognia.

The school operates from a new 44-acre Bridgeland campus in Cypress, Texas, opened September 3, 2025, following a groundbreaking ceremony on February 23, 2024 and a ribbon cutting on August 28, 2025. The campus spans 165,000 square feet of academic, arts, and athletic facilities and represents a major capital investment estimated at $40+ million, expanding capacity from an initial 750 students to a planned 850-1,000 students. Beyond core academics, CCS offers extensive extracurricular programs including TAPPS-competitive athletics (track & field state championships, archery state and national success, softball Final Four), fine arts (state runner-up chamber choir), the Warrior Leadership Academy, and the Huff Learning Center which provides National Institute for Learning Development (NILD) educational therapy for students needing academic support.

Revenue is tuition-driven, with annual tuition ranging from $16,660 for transitional kindergarten and kindergarten to $24,810 for high school, billed via 10 monthly, 2 semester, or 1 annual payment option. Supplemental revenue derives from a $500 student fee covering textbooks and technology, athletic fees of $125-$350 per activity, drama and band fees of $275, application fees of $150 domestic / $550 international, and international student surcharges of $1,000 incidentals and $2,400 Learning Center. Need-based tuition assistance covers 5-20% of tuition. The go-to-market is a relationship-driven admissions process involving personalized campus tours, shadow days, K-12 preview events, family interviews, and a specialized 5-step international admissions pathway, supplemented by a CONNECTION Magazine distributed to 7,000+ readers, social media, the Future Warriors Club targeting families with children from birth to age four, and a $40M+ new campus as the flagship brand asset.
