Happy Father's Day to the dads of Knight Nation! Today we celebrate the fathers and father figures who faithfully lead, encourage, and support their families. From early mornings and late nights to countless rides, practices, performances, and special moments, your love and commitment do not go unnoticed.

"The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him." – Proverbs 20:7 (CSB)

Thank you for the example you set through your faith, character, and dedication. The impact you make reaches far beyond today and helps shape the hearts and lives of the next generation.

We are grateful for each of you and the role you play in our Knight community. Wishing you a wonderful Father's Day filled with joy, love, and time with those who matter most.

It was such a joy to welcome members of the Class of 2016 back to campus for their 10 year reunion. Seeing alumni reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate together reminds us that the Knight family lasts far beyond graduation.

Once a Knight, always a Knight!

A group of CCS high school students had the incredible opportunity to experience the beauty, culture, and biodiversity of Costa Rica firsthand. From touring a pineapple farm and learning how cocoa and coffee beans are grown and harvested, to soaring through the rainforest on a zipline, every day was filled with discovery and excitement.

Along the way, students encountered amazing wildlife, explored new environments, and gained a deeper appreciation for God's creation and the people of Costa Rica. What an unforgettable journey full of learning, adventure, and memories that will last a lifetime! "Pura Vida!" 🇨🇷✨

Supply lists for all grade levels are now available! Check out the CCS website under "Campus Life." 📓✂️✏️

Throwing it back to one of our favorite moments from May: the 5th Grade Wax Museum! ⭐️ From historical figures to world changers, our students did an incredible job bringing history to life through creativity, research, and presentation skills. We’re still so proud of all their hard work, even during summer break! 👏📚✨

Today we remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸 May we never take their courage and service for granted.
