CAROLINA CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
To teach the mind and guide the soul through a deeper understanding of God the Creator and His world.
LOWER SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS
At Carolina Christian School, we prepare our students to work through real-life situations as a person of faith, character and integrity. It is our desire that all CCS Lower School students are prepared for secondary education with a strong academic and spiritual foundation, that they identify and utilize their God-given talents for kingdom growth, and that they are effective communicators and thoughtful problem solvers. Our school environment and classroom curriculum were developed to bolster each of these preparatory areas.
