Since its founding in 1994, the purpose of Knollwood Christian School has remained a constant: To provide a high quality, distinctive school for families who seek a Christian education. The church leadership of Knollwood Presbyterian Church had a vision to build a school that would bind academic excellence with Christian perspective. They dreamed of educating children who would grow to possess the mental, physical, and spiritual strength to accomplish great things. That dream has become realty in Knollwood Christian School. KCS opened in 1994 in classrooms of Knollwood Presbyterian Church with four students, one staff member, and a budget of $10,000. The founding Board of Directors oversaw all aspects of the school-from selecting textbooks to hiring teachers-seeking God's wisdom on a daily basis. Knollwood began adding a grade each year and added the eighth grade in the 2001-2002 school year. At this time plans do not include adding grades beyond the eighth. Today, Knollwood Christian School's faculty and staff of 23 serves approximately 102 students. We presently have K4-8th grade. Its interdenominational, evangelical nature is evidenced by over fifteen churches from the Sylacauga area represented in its student body. KCS is not just another private or Christian school. Knollwood is a Christian community of distinction-a unique, nurturing environment where students are taught a love for Christ, a love for learning and a love for others. Knollwood parents recognize God has given them a great responsibility in rearing their children. Parents are confident in the Knollwood faculty who teach with enthusiasm and Christian insight and have chosen to make the ministry of Knollwood Christian School a part of bringing their children up "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." This history of Knollwood Christian School is a part of God's plan in His providential working in all time and history. We look back in awe at what He has already accomplished and to the future with great excitement at what He has yet to accomplish in and through this ministry. To Him be the glory!
