Faculty and Staff
At Columbia Christian School, we are confident in the quality and preparedness of our teachers!
Our full-time faculty and administration are credentialed and equipped – with an average of over 10 years of experience in their fields. They all meet the standards of our accrediting agency (ACSI) and many have earned advanced degrees as well.
We are intentional to employ teachers who are strongly rooted in their faith, who have a passion for instructing, and who are dedicated to the care and nurturing of young people. Our faculty and staff involve themselves in the lives and activities of the student body, and each faculty and staff member serves as a Christian role model.
At the elementary level, in addition to our classroom teachers, Columbia Christian employs teachers' aides and specialty instructors in the areas of art, music, physical education, and library media.
At the secondary level, a guidance counselor supports students in preparing for life after graduation – including college and career success.
Our Director of Spiritual Formation guides students in deepening their relationship with God, fostering spiritual maturity, and integrating faith into daily life.
