Read What Students Are SayingCentral is a Christian community that is working to build well rounded graduates. It is not perfect, no college will be but it is the closest I found.

Jill Caitlyn from Columbus, IN
It is a well balanced christian college where I believe that I am receiving a good education.
Dawn from Chicago, IL
Central Christian College of Kansas offers a wide variety of classes. The professors possess much knowledge in their fields. The small classes make it easy to have time to talk to the professors. The art classes are tailored to the stage each student is at. The sports teams are close and work hard to do well. The music department has their own building for performances. The quality of academics is high.
