Colorado Springs Christian Schools is a 501c3 private Christian school system in the cities of Colorado Springs, Colorado and Woodland Park, Colorado.[2] It has a "Colorado Springs Campus" at 4855 Mallow Road, and a "Woodland Park Campus", at 1003 Tamarac Parkway. It includes Pre-K to high school level education. It has two middle schools and includes Colorado Springs Christian High School.

It was founded in 1971.[3][4]

As has happened for many private schools, CSCS has grown during COVID-19. CSCS re-opened earlier than public schools in its area.[5] CSCS' students' problems dealing with Covid were addressed in a 2021 event.[6]

The Woodland Park campus was opened in 2005 as a K-5 school, and added 6th, 7th, and 8th grade levels successively in 2019, 2020, 2021.[7]

Notable alumni

• Zach Filkins, lead guitarist of pop rock band OneRepublic[8]
• Ryan Tedder, lead vocalist of OneRepublic. Filkins and Tedder were students in their senior year at CSCS when they joined up to form their first band, which evolved into OneRepublic.[8]
