Cumberland Christian School was founded in 1946 by the Christian School Association of Vineland New Jersey, a group of interested parents, pastors, and Christian business men in the Vineland area. Over the years the Association has continued in its purpose of providing excellent Christian education to Christian families in South Jersey. The school is governed by our Board of Directors, elected as trustees of the Association yearly.

God has blessed us over these many years with wonderful leadership, beautiful and growing facilities, and with a group of very committed parents.

Our school curriculum, in the broadest sense, is designed to address the four key aspects of the student’s life. These are listed in Luke 2:52 in the description of how Jesus grew: “…in wisdom, in stature, in favor with God, and in favor with man.”

 Wisdom represents intellectual development and the training of the mind, our defining role as a school.

 Stature stands for physical development. We believe CCS ought to address the training of the body through physical education, health, and sports activities.

 It is said that Jesus grew in favor with God, speaking of spiritual growth. As a distinctively Christian school, we seek to bring every student into spiritual life and growth.

Finally, favor with man addresses the social needs of the student. Our school teaches the students concerning social skills, social outreach, and social structures in society.

These four areas are all seriously addressed in our curriculum and we believe we need to keep the four areas in balance with each other.
