History
What started as a Reformed Christian education institution in a single church has grown into a beacon of evangelical service representing over 70 local church communities. Through all of God’s blessings, CPCS continues to revel in what God has planned for our future. We remain confident that in partnership with dedicated and aspiring leadership, focus and prayer on God’s vision for Christ-centered education, and a heart toward achieving our full potential, the best indeed is yet to come!
1985
Crown Point Christian School Association welcomed our first preschool-aged children in our new space at First Christian Reformed Church in Crown Point, Indiana. Our first Kindergarten class enrolled just three students. Year after year, however, CPCS continued to add a grade level through Grade 5 and eventually offered Grades 6 through 8 as well.
CPCS outgrew its original location, and, soon thereafter, outgrew its second location. The steady, rapid growth of CPCS enrollment proved challenging, leading to different grade levels being situated at different locations. Through it all, however, CPCS was fully supported by our community of dedicated administration, faculty, staff, and parents. Through that unwavering support, CPCS became fully accredited by Christian Schools International and the State of Indiana. CPCS also became a member of the Indiana Non-Public Education Association.
1998
With a generous land donation and over $1M in monetary gifts CPCS opened the doors to a newly constructed facility in a residential neighborhood known as The Gates of St. John in St. John, Indiana.
Enrollment continued in steady growth. New programs became available with additional space, unified faculty, and improved technology. From 2007 through 2021, the current CPCS location underwent six capital improvements including a gymnasium, kitchen, two separate classroom wings, an additional entryway, parking lot additions, landscape improvements, playground improvements, improved technology, and outdoor athletic surfaces. CPCS facilities host a rotation of events including Open House, the annual Auction, GranDay, various other student concerts and theatre productions, and private gatherings.. Year after year, however, CPCS continued to add a grade level through Grade 5 and eventually offered Grades 6 through 8 as well.
2007
Seeing a need for students to learn and become bilingual, CPCS implemented a Dual-Language Spanish Immersion program for kindergarten through eighth-grade students. We also greatly expanded our student services offerings to assist our diverse student population.
2015
CPCS completed our 7th addition to the facility which now houses four classes per grade, Pre-K through eighth grade. We also updated our visual identity to clearly communicate our vision.
