City Christian Schools

Whether visiting the campus or encountering our students within the community, people often comment about the leadership qualities, warmth and friendliness of City Christian students. It’s part of our purposed endeavor to strengthen our high school students in their maturity, both socially and spiritually. The evidence of sincere, respectful, Christ-honoring young people is our highest reward.

High school curriculum includes English, biology, mathematics (algebra, trigonometry, and calculus), government /economics, foreign language, chemistry, physics, US history, health and physical education. Additionally, all students participate in Bible classes and chapel services.

A variety of additional life enhancing elective courses like business, social responsibilities, yearbook, choir, library, art, sign language, and worship leading are also available.

We also make it our goal to prepare students for higher education. CCHS works with parents and students to find creative ways for students to take college level courses while completing their high school education.

In fact, CCHS shares a campus with Portland Bible College, which offers many of our students the opportunity for advanced biblical studies. As a result, graduates from City Christian Schools often have a head start at furthering their education before they ever head off to college.

Internships with local businesses may be available to high school students who display leadership and initiative. These valuable opportunities can open professional doors for students after they graduate, giving them a significant advantage in entering the professional workforce.

Community service is strongly integrated into the curriculum so students can have a positive impact on the communities they call home, and a community service project is required for graduation.

The positive community oriented atmosphere present at City Christian Schools makes a measurable difference in the students’ lives. Student Council is active with elections for the following positions: president, vice president, secretary, class president/representative, senior officers, and international representatives.

The senior class also recognizes the Valedictorian and Salutatorian by awarding Medallions. We present Letterman’s Awards for accomplishments in organized sports.

For several years in November, Principal Ed Mason and his wife Dorcas, have taken City Christian High School senior students to help in the mission in Baja. The seniors pay their own way and spend the week helping to feed and teach impoverished families in the area. They get a first hand look at how the rest of the world lives.

“When a small group of us went on a garbage run, we not only were able to bless the Mission, but those families living in the dump. We fed them. It was truly a blessing.” — Scott Nash

“Seeing the children, most of them living in poverty, being so content and happy with so little showed me a lot.” — Erin Jones

“I enjoyed being in the presence of joyful little children each day. Although many of them didn’t have much, our love was fulfilling for them.” — Nana Opoku
