Crossroads Christian School is a career and college-preparatory Christian school. We value a learning environment that considers individual student needs while encouraging growth academically, spiritually, emotionally and socially. CCS is a private part-time Christian School that provides a one-on-one and small group learning environment that supports a students’ home-centered education. On-campus classes meet two to four days per week, with at-home learning occurring on the alternate days.
With instruction and guidance from experienced, degreed and certified teachers, it offers the unique opportunity for the one-on-one instruction that is so productive in a homeschool environment, while encouraging socialization and interaction with instructors and peers. Combined Schooling Options include: Part Time Enrollment, Full Time Enrollment, Extended Enrollment and Dual Credit Enrollment. In addition to enrollment options, students enrolled may choose the college bound or career (non-college bound) track and have access to participate in select extra-curricular activities, mission trips, etc.
Because homeschools in Texas are private schools and are not regulated by the state, CCS Homeschool students have unlimited opportunities for coursework and electives. In order to ensure that CCS Homeschool students have comparable accountability and privileges as the students in the traditional setting, Crossroads Christian School has set the necessary standards to keep the program accountable.
Inspiring leadership as well as learning, CCS is a quality alternative to the educational concerns we face today. Our roles as mentors and educators offer a level of individualized care that no other school can provide as we foster individual achievement through flexible, personalized learning. We provide a structured, interactive, self-paced education where each student has a curriculum based on his or her individual educational needs and academic goals. From Modified to Advanced Placement courses, every student will have the opportunity to succeed.
CCS is a non-denominational private homeschool that will transform the lives of students both academically and spiritually. Our program is not a child-care facility, day-care center, or licensed before-school or after-school program nor do we offer child-care services. We conduct background checks for all program employees and volunteers who work in our program.
CCS is a THSC Partner Home School Group

Home School Terminology
THSC definition of a home schooled student:
A home schooled student predominantly receives instruction in a general, elementary or secondary education program that is provided by the parent—or a person standing in parental authority—in or through the child’s home [Texas Education Code 29.916 (a)].
The parent or person standing in parental authority might contract with outside sources in order that the student receives additional instruction. For example, a private tutor, co-op class or a college class. However, this source or these sources do not circumvent the parent’s role in determining the overall success or failure of the student.
Home school group:
All home school groups on our list seek to serve families who meet the definition of home schooling. This means their children participate in the group, but the group will not attempt to become an authority over the student’s education, per the definition of home schooling. THSC Partner Groups meet criteria as defined on THSC Types of Groups.
Private school:
Private school is a broad category of describing any non-public school. This includes traditional accredited private schools that require daily attendance and tuition, unaccredited private schools which are similar but not subject to the same accreditation requirements, home schools which are a type of private school but not regulated the same way as other types of private school, and other options that are a hybrid of these different types. For example, in a university model school, a student might attend the school 2-3 days per week and then be schooled at home for the rest of the week.
