High School
High School is a time of deep engagement for students and faculty. The mentoring relationships with high school faculty, coupled with the curriculum produce graduates who are prepared to be disciples transforming the world.
KCHS has been accredited by The North Central Association of Secondary Schools since 1989. In addition, we have been honored as an “Exemplary School” in the U.S.D.O.E Exemplary School National Recognition Program.

Academically Excellent

Undeniably Christian
Teachers and students wrestle with challenging content, both in high-level thinking and in asking hard questions about the world around them, with the goal of developing the apologetics and Biblical understanding to know why they believe what they believe. Student attend weekly chapel and are required to take yearly Bible classes.

Comet Time
Comet Time happens once a week in the high school and gives students an opportunity to sign up for extra courses that teachers chose to offer that offers students a new skill and learning experience than the traditional classroom setting.
Course Catalog
In high school, students have the opportunity to select courses of interest to complement core classes. The course catalog outlines graduation requirements and courses offered each year.
Interim
Interim happens every spring providing an opportunity for students to engage with the world around them in ways that are not ordinarily presented in the traditional classroom.
During Interim week, we take a break from our normal routine and classes to allow students to learn more about God and themselves by exploring new places, providing service to the community, trying new things to develop new skills and building our Comet community by connecting with peers and teachers outside of the classroom. This is a great way for students to see how God is glorified in a vast array of activities.
Students can visit post-high-school education facilities, attend spiritual retreats or mission trips, learn new trades, attend career sessions, dive into the arts, get into nature and SO MUCH MORE!
