Private Lessons
%20(1).jpeg)
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).

Financial Assistance for Private Lessons
Private Lessons are not included in tuition. There are three options available for financial assistance.
1) Ohio ACE (Afterschool Child Enrichment) Educational Savings Account Program:
Ohio has a limited number of ACE Scholarships available. If your family’s Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is at or below 400% of the federal poverty level, then each child may qualify for a $1,000 credit from the state of Ohio. These funds can be used for a variety of educational activities, including the cost of our private lesson program.
