Mission Statement

Charlotte Christian School is a Christ-centered,

college preparatory school, equipping and

developing students to effectively integrate

Biblical truth and learning into their daily lives

and to impact the culture for Christ.

Our Collective Vision

Spiritually - developing a Biblical worldview in

our students and mentoring them in their walk with

Christ

Academically - preparing our students for

institutions of higher learning with a rigorous

program

Financially - establishing a stable and sustainable

school for generations to come

“Everyone shall consider the main end of his life

and studies to know God and Jesus Christ which is

eternal life.”

“Cursed be all learning that is contrary to the cross

of Christ.”

source: What Good is God? In Search of Faith that Matters by Phillip Yancey

“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved

children. And walk in love, as Christ loves us

and gave himself up for us, a fragrant

offering and sacrifice to God.”

Ephesians 5:1-2
