It is our philosophy at CCS that all children can learn if given sufficient time and an appropriate support system.  We believe that the task of our school is to provide a learning environment that creates an opportunity for success and enhances the student's self-esteem.  The most essential requirement of our school is that each child will become a successful learner and grow in his/her faith.  We strive to keep opportunities open and support available so that each child can have a meaningful learning and spiritual experience.

Canyonside Christian School is a recognized leader in elementary education for the Magic Valley for over two decades.  Our exceptional test scores are proven to show this.

Our classes are kept at low student/teacher ratios so your child will get the love and one-on-one attention they need to have a wonderful learning experience.

The CCS curriculum is taught by educators and administrators who serve as role models in their Christian walk, and who are maturing in both their professional life and their Christian faith.  We are excited to watch your child grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and to excel academically.

If you need to be to work early before school starts, do not worry, we have a before school program that begins at 7:30am.  If you need to work later than 3:00pm your child can join our after-school program that is available until 5:30pm.  Your child can relax in our before/after school programs with our loving staff.  Your child will get a snack and get help and time to work on their homework until you can come and pick them up.

Here at CCS we love family involvement, which ranges from helping your child’s teacher to helping with a fundraising event. We cannot forget about our PTF (Parent Teacher Fellowship) where there are lots of opportunities to help make your child’s teacher feel loved and appreciated. Please feel free to visit with us in the office to learn how you can help.

To enhance our academic strength, we offer a variety of extracurricular events throughout the school year. These days are focused around a Biblical or Career them, such as how important our personal character is, or thinking about creative ideas.

Fundraising is a fun way to get involved with the school and have some wonderful fellowship with other families from our school.  CCS is not backed from any church or organization, so we rely completely on tuition and fundraising to be able to give your child the best Christian academic learning experience possible.

We look for ways to coordinate with local community programs, to help enhance the opportunities for our children. An example might be a special event hosted at the Jerome Recreation District facility, or participating in an event with a local Christian homeschool group of families.
