Community Christian School serves students from Preschool through 8th grade, and we'd love to welcome new families to our school family.

The Iowa Students First Education Savings Account (ESA) program is helping make private education more affordable for Iowa families by providing funding that can be used toward tuition.

Even if you haven't made a final decision about where your child will attend school next year, we encourage you to complete the application now. Applying preserves your opportunity to receive ESA funding if you decide that a private school is the right fit for your family.
