Our History
The mission of
the Christian School of Kingwood is to provide a Christ-centered environment
that is committed to academic and spiritual excellence.
Christian School of Kingwood began operation
with a Mother’s Day Out program in 1981. Preschool for 3’s and 4’s was added in
the Fall of l983. The Elementary School began with Kindergarten in 1984; First
Grade was added in the Fall of 1985; Second Grade in the Fall of 1986; and Third
Grade in the Fall of 1987. Fourth Grade was added in the Fall of 1988 and Fifth
Grade in the Fall of 1989. Sixth Grade was added in the Fall of 1992. Seventh
Grade was added in the Fall of 2007 and Eighth Grade was added in the Fall of
2008.
Christian School of Kingwood admits students
of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges,
programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the
school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or
ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies and admission
policies.
The school is located in the Kingwood Church
of Christ. The Board of Trustees of the school is composed of members of the
Kingwood Church of Christ; however, the school is not operated by the church.
The Christian School of Kingwood offers
a nurturing, learning environment where children can build a solid foundation
for life through a Christ-centered education. At
CSK, every child is given the opportunity to develop self-confidence and
integrity as they grow in body, mind and spirit.
Our primary emphasis is on the classroom: a
“supernatural” teacher, a challenging curriculum, and a carefully designed
sequence of courses. Our small classes both motivate and support student
learning. Exploration, discovery and mastery of material are as important in
preschool and kindergarten as they are in middle school.
We encourage our students to be curious and
desire to learn more outside the classroom as well as inside. Our young people
are taught to lead in various circumstances, such as Chapel, Musicals, and work
in the community. The older students provide the best of examples in
responsibility, respect, and caring for the younger children as they mentor
them.
Christian School of Kingwood is accredited by the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS/CASI) and the National Christian
Schools Association (NCSA). CSK is recognized by the Texas Education Association
(TEA).
Our Mothers’ Day Out program is licensed by the Texas Department
of Protective Regulatory Services.
Educational Goals
Christian
School of Kingwood provides each child with an understanding of himself in
relation to God and His Word. Our goal is to meet the academic, spiritual,
physical and social needs of each student as he/she lives a life that will
please and glorify God. CSK will achieve this end by declaring the following
objectives as our educational goals:
-
To teach the Bible, the Word of God, as the ultimate
authority to guide our students in all areas of living.
-
To nurture a deep and abiding faith in God the Father, Son
and Holy Spirit, and the Bible as His Word.
-
To provide a comprehensive program of Bible instruction,
emphasizing application and the discernment of truth.
-
To encourage good citizenship based on a genuine love and
respect for our country and the ideals on which it was founded.
-
To cultivate a healthy self-esteem and respect for the rights
and needs of others while maintaining a positive attitude.
-
To instill the desire to build strong family units.
-
To promote academic excellence in reading, language,
mathematics, social studies, science, health and spiritual growth.
-
To provide an appreciation for the aesthetics through the
Arts.
-
To provide instruction and training in how to study, how to
discover, how to locate information and how to solve problems using
available resources and technology.
-
To develop habits of self-discipline, and assume
responsibility for their own actions.
-
To promote respect for cultural diversity as each student
maintains an appreciation for his/her unique heritage.
-
To encourage the proper care and development of the body.
With God's
help, these educational goals will be achieved through prayer, the example of
daily Christian living by the staff, the implementation of a Christ-centered
curriculum, and systematic parental involvement in the educational process. We
will strive in every way possible to relate Biblical principles relevant to the
students' lives now as well as in the future.
