Cary Christian School has blessed my family by nurturing the hearts and minds of my two children. They offer a Classical Christian curriculum (if you don't know what this is, I recommend taking the time to learn about it!). The school has offered my kids the tools they need to think critically and live out their faith. My kids love the school and I love seeing them grow and thrive there. The dinnertime conversations between my 9 and 11 year old are often deep and scripture related (I wish I could take all the credit for this). We're constantly impressed with how the teachers balance academic excellence with a deep sense of responsibility to nurture each child's character. The school has done a great job with hiring qualified teachers that genuinely love the Lord. The sense of community is remarkable and there are many opportunities to get involved (esp. in the lower school!). If you're looking for a great school, consider taking a tour of CCS!

The bible teacher in 8th grade has told the students in the class that any non-protestant Christian will go to hell. He literally said the Catholic will go to hell. That was so hateful and painful speech to the students. We send our kids to a Christian school to receive an academic education founded upon a biblical worldview based on the school principles and to be treated equally as other students not to be discriminated and feel lower than others. Nobody should judge others and decide who goes to heaven or hell. Only God who judges. That hateful speech and abuse of power over students is not acceptable by any means. i hope the school board and administration are care enough to investigate this issue and take an action. This happened this last week of April 2024.

There is no other school, in my view, like Cary Christian School. This school is the best thing that has ever happened to my children, who joined the school in their 8th and 11th grades respectively. The faculty and staff truly and deeply care for their students. They teach the students how to act with integrity and respect and treat them (the children) with respect also in return. The school is absolutely dedicated to send their students into the world as well-rounded young adults, rooted in strength of character, faith, integrity and self-confidence. This school is my children’s safe haven and ‘happy place’ - the students love and support each other, have fun in the classrooms and in their different extra-curricular activities and just enjoy the school overall. We are not a family with a lot of dollars in the bank; this school is definitely not good only to those who have it all made like one of the reviews are implying. The school principle is a man of integrity and character, he engages with parents with sincerity. The Dean of Academics is involved in the students’ lives and care much more about their overall well-being than only their academic grades. The sports coaches build their student’s self-esteem by encouraging them and training them with love and discipline. The cultural activities are also of excellent quality. The school’s College Counseling, preparation and support are outstanding. The only matter that saddens my daughter about this school is the fact that she could join the school only in her Junior year and cannot spend more than two years of her life at the school.I can never thank God and the school enough for providing my children with the opportunity to be part of the CCS community, and to grow from children/teens to young adults in such a loving, caring, fun and affirming environment. My children will be well-equipped to enter the grown-up world. These are definitely the best school years of my children’s lives.

We are thankful for such a wonderful experience at CCS! The teachers love their students like their own. All subjects are taught from a biblical world view. We are amazed at all the biblical knowledge our kids are learning. The students are held to a high standard and the teachers actually teach rather than using computer programs to babysit students. CCS has exceeded our expectations for our children's education!

We have been with CCS since our oldest started Kindergarten and she is now in 3rd grade. We are so thankful for this school. Our own private school experience growing up wasn't great but CCS blows our experience out of the water! Not only do they provide an excellent Classical Christian Education, our experience has been that they also focus on the hearts of their students versus merely modifying outside behaviors. To feel like we have partners in raising our kids in the teachers and staff is such a blessing. To know that my kids are being challenged academically and spiritually is priceless. Seeing them start their journey in Kindergarten with presenting in front of the class as a 5 year old and headed to the finish line of their senior thesis presentation is exciting! I/we know the preparation they are receiving for college and life beyond is top notch! I can't imagine a better place for our children!

As an ex-student, I can tell you about what the parents don’t see; a clique filled school that doesn’t care about bullying and forces their own specific type of Christianity on the kids. There is no character in the students, with many of them doing drugs and drinking outside of school, and the “values” that are supposed to be in the students aren’t even exemplified by the faculty. There is a severe lack of any kind of bullying policy and even if the school “talks” to students about it, kids don’t really care. I wouldn’t recommend sending your kids here unless you also plan on sending them to a therapist after.

Overall, not very good. If this is what Christians values looks like, I certainly do not want my child to be misled into faking Christian values.

We have been at CCS for six years - kindergarten through fifth. We love the teachers, administrators, and students. Our daughters have been encouraged to work hard, pursue Christ and love their friends well. I cannot imagine sending my children anywhere else!

My family has truly been Blessed by this school. My children are thriving here. The teachers truly pursue our children and I love that they get a very Christ centered education at this school. The school has a true feeling of community and loving one another as brothers and sisters in Christ. I love that we are seeing more diversity in the school this year, and I truly believe the teachers and administration go out of their way to make your child feel happy, safe and welcome every morning.

The classical Christian approach to education is effective in academically challenging my son and giving him a sense of purpose.

We are thrilled with all that we’ve experienced at CCS. We love seeing our children learning. We appreciate the focus on the humanities, the arts, penmanship, Bible, and public speaking.

We are new to CCS but not to classical education and our experience has been an outstanding one so far! Challenging, rewarding, developing our children into thoughtful, respectful, articulate individuals. A classical education is an investment like no other and we see the fruit of it in our children. The dedicated teachers, volunteers and administrators are highly motivated and a blessing to our family. Thank you for your good and Godly work!

EXCELLENT! We have found the classes to be very challenging academically at times. But assistance and guidance from the teachers is always readily available. Our 3 years at CCS have been a tremendous blessing.

We have two children, one in elementary school and one in middle school. Both have really enjoyed CCS AND more importantly both have grown in their love for learning at this school. CCS has inspired a great love for learning and very good study skills that will serve my kids well throughout their lives. Teachers, in general, show love, grace and compassion for the kids.

When we finally arrived to the point of decision to apply for our daughter’s entry into Cary Christian School, we knew we had found a school where she would thrive, educationally and spiritually. Its biblical worldview, and classically oriented curriculum, are held at a level of highest esteem. It is a beautifully organized, structured environment which enable students to excel in all learning exceeding beyond typical bounds. We know this only occurs because Cary Christian School is grounded and steadfast in its purpose in the cause of Christ, operating and founded in the Lord’s truth. Our daughter’s transition has been seamless and joy-filled. She is excited for school every day and indeed, as we knew, is thriving. We have found a safe haven for her during her crucial years of learning, and are forever grateful for this blessed opportunity. God’s sovereign hand is on CCS. We are rejoicing. Our heartfelt thanks all staff, teachers, principals and headmaster for your blessed, blessed service. Our prayers are with you all.
