Columbia Christian Schools is accredited kindergarten through 12th grade and has been since the spring of 2000. The accreditation is through the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools and the Association of Christian Schools International. Accreditation benefits both the student and the school, ensuring that quality standards are met in each and every aspect of the school. Most importantly, accreditation provides validity to the education program, ensuring that CCS students are readily accepted into colleges and universities. Further, accreditation allows the school to apply for grants and outside funding from private agencies.
