M A K I N G A N I M PA C T Being the difference in students, in the community, and in the world... Cascade Christian Schools is first and foremost a place of teaching and training people in their purpose before God. With that goal in mind, everything that happens on each CCS campus is curricular. What that means to parents and students is that each class, activity, and event has the purpose of growing students in the components of our Educational Curricular Model. These four critical areas are: LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, SPIRITUAL FORMATION, PERSONAL/SOCIAL MATURITY, and ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. Beginning with the very youngest, students are taught, by example and intentional lesson planning, how to lead with a servant heart and how to practice the 3 Rs of respect, responsibility and relationship. I want to personally invite you to find out more. On the following pages, you will see an overview of our school system - more about who we are and what we do. Then, call one of our campuses to schedule a tour. We look forward to meeting you! Don Johnson, Superintendent of Schools www.cascadechristian.org L EADERSHIP D EVELOPMENT www.cascadechristian.org A BOUT U S A common vision... The vision for Cascade Christian Schools began in the early 1990s, when three church-related schools in Pierce County realized they had a common mission and a shared desire to meet the needs of children and their families with quality Christian education. The three founding churches (Puyallup First Assembly - now Destiny Christian Center, Spanaway Assembly of God - now Sound Life Church of the Assemblies of God, and People’s Church - now Champions’ Centre) unified their efforts, and launched Cascade Christian Schools in 1992. Many campuses, one mission.. . Cascade Christian Schools is now leading the way as an independent, interdenominational school system in Pierce County serving students from infant through grade 12. Our focus is on providing an excellent academic experience, with leadership development, spiritual formation, and personal/social maturity at the core of our educational curricular model. This is done through traditional classroom lessons and activities, all presented from a biblical worldview. Other curricular activities at CCS include music, arts, athletics, leadership training, and service activities. Our core purpose is to transform cultures through teaching and training people in their purpose before God. Guided by a Biblical Worldview... Whether in preschool or high school, a biblical worldview is not a subject that is merely added on to the curricular process. Cascade Christian Schools’ qualified and dedicated teachers equip students to view life and live life from God’s perspective. Living a life of purpose... It is our goal that graduates of CCS are students who have an active, personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and are part of a healthy church community. They are able to apply their academic successes to their life, demonstrate servant leadership, and be confident, godly influences in their relationships. CCS Core Character Trait: Integrity Uncompromising commitment to truth, honor, faithfulness, loyalty, and trust. H I G H S C H O O L (9-12) Preparing students for college and for life... Students at Cascade Christian High School are surrounded by qualified Christian faculty, staff, and administrators who are committed to the students, and to keeping the integration of faith, learning, and leadership development a priority. Academics at the high school level offer a college preparatory emphasis. In addition to the core curriculum, which exceeds Washington state graduation requirements, Cascade Christian provides Advanced Placement courses that prepare and equip students for the college or university of their choice. The student experience at Cascade Christian Schools includes the events and activities that students expect from high school, such as creative arts (drama, visual arts, and music), clubs, retreats, formal events, band and choir competitions, and spirit week. Each winter, students also participate in a weeklong IMPACT Term where they participate in additional learning opportunities which may include local community service, learning a new skill, studying a subject in a new way, or a mission trip. Cascade Christian Schools participates in athletics in conjunction with the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA), and has a full range of varsity sports including football, volleyball, soccer, cross country, tennis, cheerleading, basketball, wrestling, golf, track and field, baseball, and fast pitch. Coaches at CCS are trained with the same emphasis on the core components of the educational curricular model as the faculty, empowering them to continue the student’s training in leadership development, spiritual formation, personal/social maturity, and academic (or athletic) excellence. CCS Core Character Trait: Wisdom To view life and live life from God’s perspective.

Each campus may also offer a varied selection of enrichment activities, clubs, or lessons for students to participate in during the extended day portion of their time at CCS.

At Cascade Christian Schools, all students are leaders, because leadership is influence. The commitment to leadership development is manifested in having a designated program director for the whole school system, through leadership as core classes from fifth through twelfth grade, and through Leadership Impact, where students apply the leadership model to real life situations. B IBLICAL W ORLDVIEW I NSTITUTE At Cascade Christian Schools, it has always been the passion of the leadership team to make sure that students have a biblical worldview. This begins with teachers who are consistently and effectively trained in connecting biblical truths to every subject at every grade level. A very distinct biblical worldview lesson planning methodology was designed at Cascade Christian Schools to accomplish that important task. All CCS teachers are trained by participating in the Making the Connections: Biblical Worldview Integration in the Classroom workshop. In 2002, the Board of Directors of Cascade Christian Schools voted to create the Biblical Worldview Institute as a division of Cascade Christian Schools in order to fulfill the calling to offer the valuable Making the Connections training to other Christian schools, nationally and internationally. BWI is currently carrying out the vision of providing training tools for school administrators, pastors, business leaders, parents and others, in order to integrate God’s truth into their lives in a relevant and practical way. Thousands of administrators and teachers have taken part in the two-day live workshop, which has now been made available in DVD format. Don Johnson, Executive Director of the Biblical Worldview Institute, discovered a shared passion for biblical worldview integration in Christian Overman, Executive Director of Worldview Matters. Christian and his wife, Kathy, are co-instructors for the workshop Think Again!: How to Maintain Confidence in Absolute Truth During a Post-Christian Age of Relativism, which the Biblical Worldview Institute offers in conjunction with Making the Connections. To learn more about the Biblical Worldview Institute, go to www.biblicalworldviewinstitute.org A DMISSIONS Cascade Christian Schools is open to anyone interested in securing Christian child care or education for their child, from infant through the grade 12, whom the school finds qualified for admission. The admissions procedure for K-12 includes a testing and interview process. Students are evaluated on the basis of transcript/report cards, references, admission questionnaire, interview responses, and the anticipated ability of Cascade Christian to meet the student’s individual needs. New student applications are received as early as mid-January for the following school year. At the early learning level, our rolling admissions procedure is on a first come, first served basis. Child care is year-round, while our traditional preschool follows the standard academic schedule. The admission procedure includes a site visit and parent orientation. To determine if Cascade Christian Schools is right for your family, schedule a visit by calling the campus of your choice.
