The heart and soul of the school is a combined partnership with families and community to provide student-centered education that balances academic excellence with physical, spiritual, social and emotional well-being.

Parent Reviews & Community Feedback
State Requirements: Homeschooling in Texas
All CCS students fall under the homeschool umbrella. CCS meets the state requirements for instruction & curriculum:
- The instruction must be bona fide (i.e., legitimate).
- The curriculum must be in visual form (e.g., books, workbooks, video monitor).
- The curriculum must include the five basic subjects of reading, spelling, grammar, mathematics, and good citizenship.
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.
The Texas Home School Coalition (THSC) provides a wealth of information for the homeschool community free of charge. Additionally, THSC members receive benefits, including free legal assistance, free state conventions, discounts on magazines, programs, and services, free publications and more. CCS encourages each family to explore the THSC and consider membership as this organization protects parental freedoms and fights for our right to homeschool in the State of Texas.
CCS is a THSC partner group.
