A Christ-Centered Educational Experience
TK/Kindergarten through High School

Jesus is changing lives at Coastal...

Current Spiritual Theme

Whatever trials or troubles we face in life, we have the knowledge, faith, and understanding that Jesus is in control. No doubt, no question.

We stand firm in the truth that Christ has defeated the powers of darkness, and His light is everlasting. Our joy is in knowing that the Creator of the universe is always with us, building within us the strength to persevere, and the faith to be more and more like Him through all adversity.

Come what may, we will not be shaken. Ever.

Theme VerseS

James 1:2-4

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”

We are committed to exceptional academics

We do not take shortcuts in the education we offer. We embrace the challenge, and our students excel as a result.

We've placed Coastal Christian graduates in colleges across the country, such as Penn State, USC, UCLA, George Washington, Holy Cross, Liberty University, and local Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.

We are a Christ-centered school

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. All of our endeavors—spiritual, academic, social, and physical—are engrained with that belief.

We embrace Jesus and a biblical worldview in every aspect of the Coastal Christian experience, equipping our students to pursue Christ and holiness through daily social interaction, weekly chapels, multiple spiritual emphasis retreats, community service, church involvement, and spiritual themes.

We love our students

We do not hesitate to embrace our calling to love, teach, and pour our hearts into the students at Coastal. Every student is precious in God's eyes and immensely valuable.

We feel "blessed to invest" in the next generation!

We are a community of families

Many of us are parents, too, and our kids attend Coastal. We care very deeply for our community of families, because we're an active part of it!

Our heart is to come alongside your family with a holistic approach to Christian education.

We offer quality athletics

We believe athletics offer our students more than just the opportunity to simply learn a sport. Participation in a team environment uniquely develops a unity that bonds them together, allowing them to serve each other and those around them, representing Christ every step of the way.

ABOUT US

OUR VISION

To be the top school choice of Central Coast families where biblical education is instilled and Christian leaders are raised.

Our Mission

To partner with parents in preparing students to serve God in all of life by providing excellence in the spiritual, academic, social, and physical aspects of education.

The dream has become a reality

In 1977, the Lord moved in the heart of a generous saint, Reuben Kvidt, to donate 27 acres of beautiful Pismo Beach land with the express desire to build a thriving Christian school. In 2024, that dream is a reality, and it’s Time to Build!
