History
[edit]The Christian Elementary School opened its doors in September, 1960 to fifty-five pupils, from kindergarten to grade four. Also in 1960 approximately 8 acres (3.2 ha) of land was purchased at the corner of Old Owego Road and Ross Hill Road. In 1961, preschool, as well as grades five and six were added, and plans were made to add one more grade each year through the twelfth grade. In 1965, a ground breaking ceremony was held for the building of the gymnasium. It was completed in September 1966.[2]
The belief statement of the school is written from a fundamentalist and literalist viewpoint.[3]
