There is a Crossroads Christian School in Lakeland and Jacksonville.

No. But we accept McKay and SUFS scholarships which are state funded and therefore we are accountable to the DOE in similar ways as a public school. We must meet all mandatory guidelines as a public school (school days, hours, credits, hiring practices), however are free to teach content in our own way which separates us from the traditional public school model and allows us to better serve students according to our philosophy (ensure every student succeeds based on their individual needs) .
Yes, CES is actually a fully accredited educational organization – as a result, every school owned and operated by CES is fully accredited. CES’ accreditation is with Cognia (formerly called AdvancED, formerly referred to as SACS).
Accreditation ensures accountability to objective, third-party standards; guidance for implementation of improvement initiatives; and access to the most current, effective academic programs and resources.
CES was established as a nonprofit educational company in 2009. A governing board of directors oversees the strategic plan of the company and appoints the executive team responsible for day to day operations.
