In 1966, five men recognized the need for Christian education in Colorado Springs and began meeting weekly for prayer concerning their vision for a Christ-centered school. After five years of diligent prayer, in 1971, God opened the necessary doors for CSCS to be established with about 100 students. The school moved from church to church until it was able to build in its current facilities, centrally located near Austin Bluffs and Nevada with the elementary school five blocks away. It now has satellite campuses in Woodland Park and East, near Falcon. The firm dedication to a biblically focused education program grounded in prayer continues today as CSCS is the largest Christian school in Colorado , serving almost 1,250 students from kindergarten through grade 12 on five campuses. As an independent, non-denominational school, CSCS is accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and the North Central Association.
