Our CCS faculty and staff seek to work as a team and are committed to model spiritual maturity and to provide Christ-centered academic excellence to our students. In a recent questionnaire about CCS, our teachers wrote that at CCS they enjoy “staff members who are truly ‘team players’ who will go the extra mile,” a “loving community” where “Christ’s presence is a focal point,” “lots of opportunities for professional development,” “supportive families, parents and board members,” a “commitment to educating each child according to their God-given abilities,” and “plenty of opportunities for every child to succeed.”

Central Christian School is always pleased to hear from experienced educators who love God and children, who are experts in their fields and who have the passion and vision to see our School reach its full potential. Preferred candidates will be interesting people who see life from a Biblical perspective, have traveled extensively, value diversity, have multiple talents and are great team players. We offer competitive salary and benefit packages and a stimulating and rewarding work environment.
