Central Christian School has a strong tradition of music that has always been enhanced by our Private Lesson Program for K-12 students.  These lessons help grow and challenge our student musicians. Students then bless the school, the church and the community with their talents.  They also learn to praise God through their musical expressions of worship!

Central Christian School employs skilled musicians from the community who teach lessons on-campus during the school day, making this optional program convenient for busy families.  Registration information is sent to parents via email in August (for first semester) and again in December (for second semester).

Lesson Information

     -Students in grades 9-12 may take lessons on two different instruments per week.
