Faculty and Staff
Columbia Christian School is confident in the quality and preparedness of our teachers. Our faculty and administration are credentialed teachers and staff, many having earned advanced degrees. With our 26 full-time administration and faculty there is an average of over 10 years of experience. We are intentional to employ teachers who are dedicated to young people and who have a passion for teaching with a compassion for students.
The 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 for the students at Columbia Christian.
In addition to our Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade classroom teachers, Columbia Christian employs a teachers' aide for the elementary, a part-time reading specialist and tutor, and specialty instructors in the areas of art, music, physical education, and library media.
In the secondary grades (6th-12th), Columbia Christian Schools employs nine teachers on staff full-time and seven adjuncts specializing in specific areas of the curriculum.
A guidance counselor supports students in preparing for college and career success.
