History
Established in 1971, Sheboygan County Christian High School was founded by parents who wished for secondary education, taught with a Biblical worldview. Its original location was inside of a church, just off of Six Corners, located on the outskirts of Sheboygan. It has grown to its present location at 929 Greenfield Avenue, on the south side of Sheboygan.
The school has been established and is maintained by an association of Christian parents[1] who are committed to training their children in keeping with the teachings of the Holy Bible and is governed by a Board of Trustees, made up of parents who are elected by parents and supporters of the school board.
Curriculum
The school day consists of eight periods of 45 minutes each, during which all students are required to take six courses. Courses in the arts, business education and applied arts are combined with more traditional offerings.[2] The school year of 180 days consists of two semesters. Each of the semesters is divided into two nine-week marking periods. A final exam is administered at the end of each semester.
The school offers Advanced Placement Biology. Some courses are offered through Lakeland College, along with blended learning courses and independent studies opportunities.
Visual Learning
Through artistic talents of staff and students, Christian High is unique to have large murals in almost every classroom, relating to the subject taught in each classroom. For example, the English room has "Shakespearian" figures painted on the back wall, while the history room has WW I paratroopers landing in the corner. The Multi-Purpose Room and Media Center also have large murals; two graduating classes commissioned Mr. Ron Van Der Pol, art teacher, to paint different aspects of education at Christian High.
Athletics
The school's sports teams compete in the WIAA and the school belongs to the Central Lakeshore Conference.[3]
