Background
Greater Cincinnati Christian High School was established in 1971 at the Springdale Baptist Church. The same year, Tri-County Christian Elementary School opened for grades kindergarten through third, operated by Tri-County Assembly Church of God. In 1973, Tri-County added fourth through sixth grades. In 1975 Tri-County assumed control of Greater Cincinnati Christian, forming a kindergarten through twelfth grade educational system. In 1993, the schools separated financially and operationally from the Tri-County Assembly Church of God and became Cincinnati Christian Schools. The schools are now operated by a non-denominational board of directors. Years of planning and preparation culminated in the summer of 2002, when CCS acquired the facilities of the Courts of Praise Christian Center. That facility on Morris Road became the Junior/Senior High Campus and now serves Grades 7-12. The Elementary Campus, at the facilities of TCA on Dixie Highway, serves Grades PK-6. Today the two campuses of CCS have a combined enrollment of more than 580 students.
