Crossroads FAQ’s
How do I know if Crossroads Christian Schools is the right place for our family?
When considering whether or not Crossroads Christian Schools (CCS) is the right fit for your family, it would be wise to begin your quest for information by reading the school’s mission statement.
It is our mission and goal to offer a uniquely Christ-based model of education, utilizing as a model the example of Jesus in Luke 2:52. Jesus grew in wisdom, in stature, in favor with God and man. Therefore CCS in all its endeavors is dedicated to seeing our students grow in wisdom (academic growth), in stature (physical growth), in favor with God (spiritual growth) and in favor with man (social growth).
The school aims to create a learning environment that is challenging, supportive, and dedicated to the total growth of the students it serves. CCS seeks to discover, encourage, and cultivate the gifts each student possesses; to deepen each student’s faith in Christ; and to inspire each student to realize his or her full potential in serving the Lord. Our desire is that our students will garner a passion to impact the world with excellence and to glorify God in every area of their lives, spiritually, physically, academically and socially.
Are there resources available to the parents to monitor the child’s progress, or just report cards?
MyStudentsProgress, a web-based school information system, is used for grades K- 8. This system allows parents real-time access to their student’s grades. It is beneficial to parents, teachers, administrators, and to the students who can track their own progress. As soon as any information is added or changed, it is available to students and parents. When teachers enter grades and attendance information for their class, that same data is immediately available via the Internet.
