THE
SCHOOL'S MISSION
HISTORY
Crown Point Christian School began in 1984 as an association of evangelical Christians interested in providing Christ-centered education for their children. In 1985, the school began with a pre-school in a classroom of the Crown Point First Christian Reformed Church and added grades annually until the school was comprised of pre-school through grade six. In 1995, the seventh and eighth grades were added and the first eighth grade graduation was held in May 1997. By the fall of 1998, the school had outgrown available classroom space and relocated some classes to Living Stones Fellowship Church. Steady, significant growth in student enrollment has continued to the present time. In January 2007 Crown Point Christian School moved into its own newly constructed facility. Students are drawn from Crown Point and surrounding towns and villages. Crown Point Christian School is a member of the Indiana Non-Public Education Association. Crown Point Christian School is accredited with Christian Schools International-CSI and Indiana Freeway Accreditation. Crown Point Christian School is intended to be an extension of the Christian training children receive in the home. Together, teachers and parents partner in training each child for a life of service and obedience to God, for His glory.
GOVERNANCE
Crown Point Christian School is governed by a board of trustees comprised
of 9 to 15 members, elected by the association members in an annual meeting
each spring. Association members are school supporters who: - are committed
to biblical, Christ-centered education,
- are members of an evangelical,
biblically based church,
- contributed at least 2.5% of one child's tuition
rate within the past year, or pay tuition, or are an employee of the school,
- are in agreement with and pledge to support CPCS's Constitution and
the school's mission.
The school board determines policies, sets the vision of Crown Point Christian
School, and directs the principal to carry out its policies. Any member
of the association, except an employee of the school, is eligible to serve
as a board member. Annually the board nominates a slate of candidates
for board membership and the association votes for members of the board
from this slate.
The principal provides the executive leadership that
serves the staff, students and association in carrying out the school's
mission.
MISSION

respect, tolerance, cooperation, and the discipline of body and mind
consistent with God's Word.
2. Development of Christian citizenship and leadership: in the school,
in one's chosen occupation, and in the community consistent with God's
Word.
3. Development of Christian learning utilizing the full potential of
our God given ability.

ABOUT THE LOGO
Behind all of this text you will find the Crown Point Christian School
logo. What does it mean? The apple represents education with the cross
as the core of the beliefs, ethics, and instruction.
The seeds are symbolic of what is planted in students as they are taught
how to live as followers of Jesus Christ. As these seeds mature, students
grow into men and women who live lives of service and obedience to Christ.
The logo phrase captures the heart and vision of the school leadership.
