About Cambridge Christian School

In 1964, Seminole Presbyterian Church established Seminole Presbyterian School as a beacon in the Tampa community for Christian Education. Today, Cambridge Christian School is an independent Christian School that has become the premier Christian School in the greater Tampa area.

From its early foundation, Cambridge Christian School sought to reach the community for Christ through the avenue of education. As an evangelistic school, Cambridge seeks to raise up future leaders who academically, socially, and spiritually can serve the local and global community for Christ. Cambridge is unapologetic in our belief that the use of Biblical training is essential in developing students who will reach the highest level of professionalism in their local communities. Cambridge was founded to develop individuals that will change the world, and today we have over 800 alumni who are doing just that.

Cambridge is focused on providing our families with a rigorous educational experience that also allows the student to grow their talents in the arts and athletics. Serving students from three months through twelfth grade allows Cambridge to partner with families, literally from the cradle to diploma. When you partner with Cambridge Christian School, you will experience a nationally accredited education that exists to educate the whole child.

You ask, what is Cambridge Christian School all about? We are all about serving Christ through excellence; excellence at every level. When you attend Cambridge, it is a full family experience, a legacy spanning generations of Lancers, and it will transform the way you think about education. There is nothing like CCS in the Tampa community. We invite you to come and take a priority tour, and see for yourself what a difference a Cambridge Christian education can mean for your family.
