Vision
We envision that each KCS graduate will become a “disciple who transforms the world.”
We shape our students through offering ongoing opportunities for students and faculty to delve deeply into nine qualities of discipleship, called Faithlines, with the hope that these practices will develop into lifelong habits.
Faithlines
These nine Faithlines visually represent how we want to be disciples transforming the world. Each year, we chose a theme Faithline to study across all of our schools.

History
Christ-centered education since 1877.
“The first Kalamazoo Christian school was established in 1877 by the Walnut Street Church of Kalamazoo. By 1939, the first Christian high school was established.
Increased support for private Christian education within the Kalamazoo area led to the establishment of the North, South, and East Christian Elementary Schools as well as Kalamazoo Christian High School. By 1992, the Kalamazoo Christian School Association (KCSA) was formed, which linked all of these schools together to better serve the educational needs of parents wanting a Christian education for their children.
Over time, the smaller elementary schools were consolidated into one Elementary School on the 112-acre 12th Street Campus, and in 2013 a new Middle School facility was also constructed at the site.”
