Superior Academics in a Smaller School
Coastal Community School is a private, Christian, hybrid school accredited with Christian Schools International and the Florida Coalition of Christian Private School Accreditation. Accreditation ensures accountability for high standard academics, a spiritually-focused environment and operational integrity. Coastal Community School is a five-day school program with instruction at school and at home.
Our academic and enrichment program for prekindergarten through 8th grade is three full days per week (Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday) on campus. On instructional days at home, parents facilitate learning with lesson plans that are provided by a highly-qualified classroom teacher. Our community model combines the best attributes of traditional schooling with the best attributes of homeschooling and integrates them into one model.
The result is a quality, cost-effective, college-preparatory education that gives parents more time for imparting their own faith and values to their children. In partnership with one another, parents and the school work together toward a mutual goal: to produce wholesome, competent, and virtuous followers of Christ who will change the world in their generation.

Our families love Coastal Community School:
“One of our favorite things about Coastal is the leadership. They absolutely love the Lord and seek to lead the school in directions that honor Him. We are grateful for their time and hearts as they not only prayerfully consider various decisions but are also role models for our students and families.” — Casey & Erich Haeussler, Parents
"I love doing school at home the way Coastal does it. This means you can do school the way that works best for your family. My children get to work on skills they need, and it is geared to them, not an entire class." — Meridith & Kris Sanford, Parents
"The community model at Coastal is something that we prayed for as the first of our four children entered school. It's exactly what my family needs, and we are blessed that God has brought this unique educational option to our community. " — Andrea & Alex Hart, Parents
“This difference for our family was the faith component. We were thankful for this choice.” — Shavaun & Jim Skaggs, Parents of CCS graduates
