Where Your Treasure is...

As I was monitoring afternoon carline on a recent beautiful sunny day, a parent struck up a conversation with me in the parking lot. Having both a current student and CCS graduates, we had plenty to catch up on. The parent remarked how her daughter would be graduating this year from college a year early! The multitude of dual college credit courses taken during high school at CCS enabled more flexibility with her college curriculum. The parent proclaimed, “We should give a donation back to CCS for all the money you helped us save!”

I never tire of reflecting and noting the amazing sacrifice within our CCS community. Parents, grandparents, teachers, and even students surrender other desires so they can say “yes” to the CCS experience. This practical choice points us all to the gospel. Jesus confirmed that “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” It is with humble gratitude that we steward the treasures directed through our doors each day. It is with grateful amazement that we are able to participate with hearts eager to follow Jesus and disciple others each day.

As a parent myself of a college graduate and another entering next year, I am familiar with the costs of helping support postsecondary education. As Head of School, I am also specifically aware of the significant investment by families to support their child’s K-12 Christian education. Our HS dual credit program with Corban University is a wonderful partnership that provides tremendous value for the transition out of high school. Our collaboration with Corban University also enriches the quality of our curriculum, delivered through a Christian worldview.

Please know that your faithful tuition payments are regarded with high honor and appreciation. We desire that God hold the “purse strings” for how these resources are directed. We pray a blessing on Church on the Hill and generous donors who come alongside our families to invest in our campus and Kingdom work!
