Amador County – The 31-year-old Community Christian School of Pine Grove is working to expand, possibly in the fall to offer its first high school classes, with the intent of establishing the first Christian high school in Amador County.

Gregory F. Lange, a member of the Community Christian School Board of Directors of Pine Grove said the plan is to try to establish Community Christian High School with minimal students and make it permanent to serve Amador County education needs.

Lange said “it is great to see private school education expanding in this county.” He said: “It will hopefully start with this coming Fall school session.”

Lange said. “I am told that that CCS is desirous to launch this new education program with the minimum-number-required enrollment to qualify and successfully implement the program, and, then, subsequently increase enrollment each year, thus permanently establishing a High School into which existing lower-grade CCS students can graduate.

Lange said the “plan would give the school complete educational programs. So the intent here is to discover those High School student candidates in our community to initially enroll into the educational program.”

Lange said: “I have been delegated the task of promoting a new educational program for the school.”

He said Community Christian School was founded in 1980 and “has continuously educated pre-school through Junior High School students successfully for the past 30 years. CCS has become a highly respected institution of learning.”

Lange said “CCS is evolving, and is now desirous to extend its educational programs to include high school students. The school intends to offer on-line, accredited, high school learning opportunities.”

CCS’s new high school educational program is part of “an established and well respected, local Christian School,” Lange said, which “has evolved and expanded to become a complete Christian learning institution, the only one in the County of Amador, and among only a few in Northern California.”

Community Christian High School’s educational program will be directed by Dr. Ken Terry.
