Testimonials from Cypress Christian School Parents and Students

Parent Testimonials

"We love that Christian values are infused in every aspect of the academic training. It's important to us that prayer can be reinforced as well as at home, so that our children grow up with prayer being a natural part of their lives. We, also, believe that the academic standards are high at Cypress Christian, and the curriculum is in line with, if not better than, some of the top public schools in our area."

"We believe that our children will benefit from a Christian school education. We want them to be surrounded by the Lord's Word. We want them to grow up with Christ in their hearts. It is important to us, as parents, that we do all that we can to raise our children with morals and values. We believe that CCS can give them the opportunity to learn and grow and succeed in a Christian environment."

"We desire for our child to attend CCS for three main reasons. First and foremost, we believe the Christian values that are so important to us will be fostered and reinforced during the school day. Second, we think our child's intellect will be challenged and talents cultivated. Finally, we believe our child will flourish in the nurturing and encouraging environment that we have seen as integral to the school's teachers and classrooms."

"We want our child to learn in an environment that reinforces our values. We have discovered through on-campus visits that CCS shares these values and provides a high-quality education as well. We want our daughter to grow closer to God. The best way to do this is to provide her with the opportunity to immerse herself in a school that teaches God's word."

"God is the central focus of our lives. As we walk by faith and not by sight, it is our daily goal to attain His best. We feel the most appropriate way to achieve His best in our daughter's life is to enroll her in a Christian based educational program. The program must meet and or exceed the requirements of society, while focusing on the importance God plays in our lives. CCS does just that."

"I want to leave a legacy of faith for my son. It is very difficult in today's society to implement Godly values, morals and teachings without the support of a good Christian school. I have been entrusted by God to raise a beautiful son. It is my responsibility as his parent to do what I can to surround him with Godly people who will assist in his training."

"We feel that Christian Education is a part of our obligation to "train up a child" according to Proverbs 22:6. CCS exemplifies the Christian doctrine taught in the Bible."

Elementary Praises

The parents of a fourth grade student, who had just completed his first week of school, commented to our Admissions Director how pleased they were with how their child has been helped with the transition into this new school. Their exact words were, “We are thoroughly enjoying the school already, and we are so thankful that God made provision for [our son] to attend CCS! -  4th Grade

The smile on my daughter’s face says it all. She loves CCS! We look forward to many more years as part of the CCS family!" – Kindergarten

"I was just thinking the other day that I needed to let school know what a blessing it has been for our family to have our son at CCS. The most glowing endorsement came a few weeks ago when we were on our way home from school. Unprompted, my son said, 'Mom, I love my school.' I then asked what it was that he loved and his first response was, 'I love my teachers. I really feel like they want me to learn.'  He has been affirmed in so many ways and is thriving. He has been welcomed whole heartedly by his classmates and teachers and we are blessed." – 5th Grade

"As a mom, I find peace in knowing that both of my children are being led and taught by teachers/staff that know and love the Lord. They are also making friendships with children whose parents are believers, other families who want their school experience to be God focused. Just a good thing for us for sure! We are loving it!!"– 4th and 6th Grade

Secondary Praises

Parents of one of our new secondary students shared with me yesterday that when they asked their child how they could reward him for a good grade he recently received in one of his classes, their child declined. Here is the reason why . . . Their child said that he felt they had already provided the reward— just by allowing him to come to CCS this year!  EVERY day our son thanks us for sending him to CCS. Having the perspective of six years of public school makes him (and us) truly appreciate this blessing. – 6th grader

My son’s first 9 weeks of school have been AMAZING. God is such a faithful and good God. We prayed, listened, and obeyed, and He has delivered my son into a place of blessing at Cypress Christian. I cannot begin to tell you the difference in my child from the child he was last year. He is back to his normal, happy, good grade making, God-loving, wanting to go to church, self! Praise the Lord! All the staff has been wonderful to him and to us as well, as have all the parents. He has been made to feel welcome and so have my husband and I. I was a little uneasy (and so was my son) coming to a small school where everyone already knew each other and had formed friendships over the years, but everyone has really shown us Christ's love which, to me, is a true testament that God is alive and working in the school! – Secondary Student

My daughter has an increased awareness of God in her life and I see her questioning what God thinks about situations that she is faced with. I thank God for directing us to CCS for her High School years. – 9th grade

Student Testimonials

"The best thing that ever happened to me at CCS was that I got saved. A guest speaker came to our chapel and asked anyone who was not a Christian to bow their heads with him. So, I bowed my head and I said a prayer with him. Right then, I was saved."
Cody

"I love that everything revolves around the Lord at CCS! The teachers care and you can tell they love God."
Meri

"I've been at Cypress for seven years now, and since then, I've learned a lot about my faith and how to defend it. The apologetics that I've learned here have given me both a better knowledge of why I believe in Christianity and the tools to share that belief with the world."

Assistant Middle School Principal Iva Nell Rhea

The Cypress Christian’s mission is the heartbeat of the school. Because human kind is one generation away from spiritual ruin, it is imperative that Christians shoulder the responsibility of raising the next generation of intellectually, socially, and spiritually equipped warriors for the Kingdom. God has called me to this ministry to assist Christian parents with their responsibility to train and equip their children to take on their God-ordained missions. As the parent of two Cypress Christian students, I personally know the benefit of surrounding a child with God’s consistent and unchanging truth as he moves through the developmental stages of childhood and young adulthood. It is an honor and humbling responsibility to partner with Christian parents to prepare each child to take on and change his world for Jesus Christ.

I believe in the mission of CCS because it is one that is desperately needed for such a time as this. It is a mandate from the Lord to train up a child in the way he should go.

I choose to serve at CCS because God has divinely placed me here and it is all about spreading the good news of Jesus Christ - nothing is more important.

As a teacher and coach at CCS I have seen God transform students lives. I have seen students give their lives to Christ. I have seen students graduate from this school and go into the mission field. I have seen students who had no hope or sense of direction in life be touched by the power of the Holy Spirit that changed their lives completely. God is definitely at work in this place.
