In the last few years, CCCS graduates' college acceptances represent over 30% of the top 50 universities in the US.  As students prepare for further study at colleges and universities, students receive counseling support from the CCCHS college counselor. CCCS prepares students from the 9th grade through the 12th grades to pursue and achieve their goals. We help students sort through the hundreds of potential college choices to find a good match for each individual student. We also provide support to parents about different college options across the country, including financial aid and scholarship opportunities.

Contra Costa Christian High School has a track record of academic excellence that sends students to top universities across the nation.  Our high school program is a college preparatory program that is intended to prepare students for the university of their choice and ability level. While we challenge them academically, we also push students to develop their character and become the person that God created them to be. We want them to go beyond knowing the world to understanding who they are and their place in God's bigger plan.  We want to prepare them for success in life.

ENGLISH

The English program is designed to provide students with the skills needed to understand and communicate with love in others. Language and communication have been distorted by the fall, resulting in miscommunication and misunderstanding. Through Christ, language can be redeemed as the Holy Spirit works in students through the study of English, Grammar, Writing, Speech, and Literature, helping students speak and write more clearly and honestly, and listen and read with godly discernment and enjoyment. ​

History

History is a study of how human society has responded to God’s mandate to rule and subdue the earth. History involves human perspective and as such is subjective. The recording of events does not make history. History always involves a perspective on the events. As Christians we attempt to understand and evaluate historical events in the light of God’s Word.  Students will build their skills in examining history from multiple perspectives.   Ultimately, students will critically evaluate the past in order to make sense of the present.

Mathematics

Mathematics is a human activity wherein people try to describe God’s orderly universe in terms of number and shape. “Mathematics originates with the things around us, not with theorems and deductive proofs. Mathematical results are almost always proved deductively only after they have been discovered, accepted, and used. Our primary aim in mathematics courses is not to teach the student how to think clearly and logically [although this is a key component in any study of mathematics]. Our first concern is to help the student understand God’s creation more fully, his task in it, and how mathematics can help him fulfill his calling” (Van Brummelen). 

Science

Science is the activity of investigating physical phenomena to understand the structure God has given to His creation. The science program is designed to help students gain knowledge of how things work. In this regard, students learn methods of investigation that help reduce subjectivity and increase objectivity as conclusions are drawn. The science program aims to develop the student’s awareness that God’s creation is an integrated whole, to understand that science abstracts elements of creation to study them in a structured way in order to deepen understanding, to see science as a tool to serve God and one another, and to deepen understanding of the concepts, laws, theories and practices of science.

Additional Courses

Intersession
Intersession is a unique opportunity for high school students to put their classroom learning into the real world. It occurs each year between the fall and spring semesters.


Yearbook
The yearbook is an important memento of the students’ life at school and as such will be produced in a professional manner. Production will require learning skills in planning, layout, record keeping, sales, writing, editing, proofreading, and photography.

Social Studies
History is a study of how human society has responded to God’s mandate to rule and subdue the earth. History involves human perspective and as such is subjective.

Physical Education
Physical education is concerned with using physical activity for service to God and having a better understanding of the student’s body and how God created it.
​
Health
The course is intended to help students achieve an understanding of wellness and prevent disease by providing many opportunities to apply knowledge to real world experiences.

Foreign Language
Students have the opportunity to learn Spanish in our foreign language program. While most students participate in this option, we have worked with students already studying another language to participate in online course options.

Fine Arts
The Fine Arts program at CCCHS develops students in visual arts as well as the performing arts of music and drama.

Christian Studies
Bible courses at CCCHS are designed to give students an understanding of the Bible and its principles. More than an academic study, these courses apply God's Word to their lives and teach them how to live.

Leadership development

Contra Costa Christian High School is proud to offer students opportunities through leadership and service.

Student Council is made up of committed students who are called by Christ to serve their school.  Student Council is an extracurricular organization whose goal is to promote unity in Christ. Student Council is selected through an election process by students, is governed by a constitution approved by the school, and serves as a student voice in the student affairs of the school. Student Council is not, however, just about what our leaders do, but about who they are and how they live. These students desire to reach out to the lonely and encourage each other to be more like Christ.

The Student Council organizes and supports the following activities:
  • Fall spiritual retreat
  • Harvest Dance
  • Hee-Haw Week 
  • Homecoming Ceremony 
  • Homecoming Formal Dance 
  • Spring dance 
  • All-school mixers
  • Class competitions

Performing Arts

WE offer a thriving performing arts program that develops students' musical and theatrical skills.
​Music
The music program at CCCS develops students instrumental and vocal abilities. Students in band can develop expertise through individual achievements as well as learning the art of playing as part of a team. Students have opportunities to participate in small group ensembles as well. Some courses allow students to develop a richer understanding of music through composition of their own pieces, using Finale Software. Choir students participate in vocal development and put their voices to use through concerts and other performance opportunities at local events and elderly care centers. CCCS wants all students to develop their God-given gifts and music is just one avenue CCCS uses to develop balanced, well-rounded students.

​
Drama
CCCS is proud to offer students many opportunities to be involved with all aspects of theatrical production. Students have the opportunity to participate in auditions, casting, stagecraft, and acting components of a theatrical production. Performances are held at mainstream local theatres such as the Lesher Center in Walnut Creek and the Village Theatre in Danville. CCCS has offered classic plays, contemporary dramas, and musicals to provide students a taste of many different productions during their high school experience. We present two plays a year to an audience of students, parents, and the community. Although CCCS has seasoned actors, students are encouraged to participate even if they do have not previous experience. We see students developing their communication skills and stage presence in ways that extend beyond a particular performance to the larger arena of life.  We challenge students to excel beyond what they believed they were capable of achieving.  
 
In recent years, high school plays have included Three Murders and It's Only Monday, Ring Around the Moon, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Fools, As it Is in Heaven, The Real Inspector Hound, Everyman, The Music Man, and The Miracle Worker.

The Contra Costa Christian Schools Resource Program serves students with special academic needs through support and mainstream instruction. 

Intervention
When a student has been identified as having academic difficulties, we intervene. The first step is to reach out to the family and enroll the student in our intervention program. We begin by screening, which includes using informal assessments to gather information about the student’s difficulties. The Resource Coordinator will determine the student’s areas of strengths and weaknesses, what classroom interventions need to be put in place, and what skills need to be enhanced.

If the interventions are not successful, the student will need an in-depth assessment through their home school district or private practice.


Resource
Students who are accepted into the resource program will meet with the Resource Coordinator, as often as needed, to develop skills and strategies to become academically successful. Services include:
  • Mentoring and monitoring 
  • Development of strategies and compensations for difficulties
  • Coaching appointments 
  • Development of an Individualized Student Plan


School Accommodations
CCCS does not have a full special education program and, therefore, we may not be able to meet all the needs of students with an IEP and/or 504 plan. Accommodations we are able to make include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • Extended time to complete assignments and/or tests
  • Oral test-taking option
  • Alternative testing location 
  • Use of a calculator for math tests, reference materials, etc.
  • Assistance with organization
  • Assistance with clarification of directions 
  • Priority seating 

**There is a monthly fee for our Resource Program, which is based on time and personalized plan for each student. ​​
