OPENING FALL 2024
Chapel Hill, TN
Starting with Junior Kindergarten through 3rd Grade
Adding a Grade each year thereafter
As more young families are moving into our area, there is a need for more schooling options for our young children. We will provide an alternative to Government run schools! We will provide children an education that is based on a biblical foundation, where children thrive and discover the beauty of God in all subjects. An education based on the natural phases of child development, where all subjects are taught as a whole, training students in logic and reasoning. So that they are able to think and reason for themselves!
We are considering including 4th Grade this year and created a waiting list for 4th Grade students for parents who are interested in enrolling their children
Our Story
We began in the summer of 2022. A small group of concerned parents and grandparents met to form a task group to discuss the feasibility of starting a Christian school in Chapel Hill. After some initial research into classical Christian education, we quickly determined that the new school would be a classical Christian school.
We joined the Association of Classical Christian Schools to help us on our journey. Over the next 12 months, our group conducted surveys in the community, continued researching CCE, attended CCE conferences, talked with other Christian School founders and Heads of School.
By September 2023, the task group morphed into an implementation group. Our goal was to open the school in August 2024 with grades pre-k through 3rd Grade. We decided on the name “Philos Classical Christian School” and incorporated and formed a board.
PCCS has received significant encouragement and support from ACCS, other heads of school and founders, Herzog Foundation and area churches. We have followed the specific guidance and direction from ACCS and Herzog Foundation in the formation of PCCS.
A BETTER WAY TO EDUCATE
We are committed to providing an education grounded in a biblical worldview to students to equip them for lives of leadership and service to their community. Each day is filled with activities that are both enriching and fun!

Battle for the American Mind by Pete Hegseth
Today, after 16,000 hours of K-12 indoctrination, our kids come out of government schools hating America. They roll their eyes at religion and disdain our history. We spend more money on education than ever, but kids can barely read and write—let alone reason with discernment. Western culture is on the ropes. Kids are bored and aimless, flailing to find purpose in a system that says racial and gender identity is everything.
It's more than a book; it’s a field guide for remaking schools in the United States.
