Mission

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission, as a discipleship Christian school, is to equip students spiritually, academically, socially and physically, encouraging them to reach their highest potential in life for Christ.

VISION 

  • To become a school that provides students with an excellent academic education built around the fundamental truths of the Bible.

  • To partner with parents, churches and the entire Christian community to build programs that will result in Crescent City Christian School being acknowledged as the leading Christian educational institution in the New Orleans area.

  • In all our endeavors, we will strive to bring honor to the Lord Jesus Christ by the manner in which our staff, students and families pursue our mission.

PHILOSOPHY

It is our belief that the Christian School must support the family by being an extension of the Christian home, providing nurturing, training, and discipling in the Word of God for each student. The school must be accountable to and submit to the authority of God’s Word and the Celebration leadership, together with the parents, to help keep integrity within this commitment.  Rom 14:12

SUMMARY

Each student is a unique creation of God and intended to fellowship, serve, and have a relationship with Him. It is the parents’ God-given responsibility to instruct their children in the ways of God and to help them establish an eternal relationship with Him. The Christian school is a partner with the home and church in accomplishing this goal. Therefore, we must be vigilant, efficient, compassionate, and accountable to the students, the parents, the church and God. We must apply the Holy Scriptures as our guide for reproof and instruction. May the man of God be perfect and thoroughly furnished unto all good work.
