We Build Character
Our History
How it all started...
Countryside Christian School has been providing quality and caring education in our community since 1977. What began as a small group of dedicated Christian parents has grown to the thriving school family that we have here today.
We are a small school in a lovely rural setting just outside Eugene, OR. We are loving, safe and Biblically centered. Our students work at their level. We love to go on lots of field trips during the year to get real world experience and have fun learning.
We provide an alternative to the secular education of public school. Here, students learn who they are in Christ and how to develop a Christ like character They are given a Biblical foundation, and a safe place to try new things that will grow their brains with our STEAM program and more.
What started small, God has blessed and grown to what we see today. Our community is one that cares for each student and ensures that the original focus remains - Christ centered education, strong academics and community.
