For over 50 years, Liberty Christian School has been a community cornerstone where generations of families have found their educational home. Our commitment to fostering a genuine school community means that when you join Liberty, you're choosing to become part of a family that will support, encourage, and celebrate your journey every step of the way.
What Makes Our Christian School Family Atmosphere Special
The foundation of our school community rests on shared values and mutual support. Unlike larger educational institutions where families can feel anonymous, Liberty Christian School maintains an intentionally small environment where every family is known, valued, and integral to our collective success. Our 15:1 student-to-teacher ratio ensures that not only do teachers know each student personally, but they also develop meaningful relationships with families that often span multiple children and years.
Our commitment to biblical values creates a shared foundation that unites families from diverse backgrounds. While our families come from various denominations and traditions within Christianity, we're united by our commitment to raising children who understand their identity in Christ and are prepared to make a positive impact in the world.
Building Long-Term Family Relationships
One of the most distinctive aspects of our school community is the enduring relationships that form here. Many families who join Liberty Christian School discover that their connections extend far beyond their children's school years. These relationships often become lifelong friendships that provide support through various seasons of life.
Our small school environment naturally fosters these deep connections. When families participate in school events, volunteer together, and share in celebrating milestones, they create bonds that extend into their personal lives. It's not uncommon for Liberty families to vacation together, celebrate holidays as extended family groups, and maintain close friendships long after graduation.
How Long-Term Relationships Develop
Our community relationships develop naturally through several key touchpoints:
- Daily Interactions: The smaller school environment means parents frequently see each other during drop-off, pick-up, and school events
- Shared Volunteer Experiences: Working together on school projects and events creates natural bonding opportunities
- Athletic Programs: Athletic teams create additional opportunities for families to connect and support each other
- Academic Celebrations: Sharing in academic achievements and milestones strengthens community bonds
- Spiritual Growth: Participating together in chapel services and spiritual activities deepens relationships
Community Events That Bring Families Together
Liberty Christian School's calendar is filled with events designed to strengthen our school community and create lasting memories for families. These gatherings serve multiple purposes: they build relationships, celebrate our shared values, and create traditions that families look forward to year after year.

Annual Signature Events
Get Acquainted Picnic (G.A.P.)
Our school year begins with the Get Acquainted Picnic, a beloved tradition that sets the tone for community connection. This event features physical activities that students have enjoyed for decades and provides an excellent opportunity for new families to meet established community members. The G.A.P. serves as more than just a social gathering—it's where friendships begin and where the school community officially welcomes new families.
Fall Palooza
The Fall Palooza represents one of our most anticipated all-school events. Families gather to enjoy chili, live music, pumpkin painting, games, and fellowship. This event showcases our Christian school family atmosphere as multiple generations come together to celebrate the season and strengthen community bonds.
Carnival and Silent Auction
Our Carnival and Silent Auction demonstrates the collaborative spirit of our school community. Students work together by class to create special gift baskets for the auction, while families contribute items and participate in carnival games and activities. The event includes petting zoos, food, and entertainment, creating an atmosphere where every family member can find something enjoyable.
Christmas Party
The annual Christmas Party brings our school community together in the gymnasium for Christmas-themed games and activities. This tradition has become a staple of our school community, representing the values we share and the joy we find in celebrating together.
Regular Community Gatherings
Beyond our signature annual events, Liberty Christian School hosts regular activities that maintain community connections throughout the year:

- Spirit Week and Homecoming celebrations showcase school pride and community spirit through games, costumes, and culminating coronation events
- Athletic events throughout the year bring families together to support student athletes and celebrate achievements
Parent Involvement Opportunities
Our school community thrives because of meaningful parent involvement opportunities that allow families to contribute their unique gifts and talents to our shared mission. We believe that when parents are actively involved in school life, it strengthens not only the individual student experience but the entire community fabric.
Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF)
The Parent Teacher Fellowship serves as the primary vehicle for organized parent involvement at Liberty Christian School. This dedicated group of volunteers works tirelessly to support school initiatives, organize events, and foster community connections. The PTF represents the heart of our parent involvement opportunities, providing leadership for many of the activities that make our school community so special.
Current PTF initiatives include:
- Organizing major school events like Fall Palooza and the Carnival/Silent Auction
- Coordinating volunteer opportunities throughout the school year
- Supporting fundraising efforts for school improvements and programs
- Facilitating communication between families and school administration
- Creating welcoming opportunities for new families
Volunteer Opportunities Throughout the Year
Liberty Christian School offers numerous ways for families to contribute to our school community:
Event Support
Parents can volunteer to help with setup, coordination, and cleanup for our major annual events. These volunteer opportunities provide excellent ways to meet other families while contributing to memorable experiences for students.
Classroom Assistance
Teachers welcome parent volunteers who can assist with special projects, field trip supervision, and classroom activities. These opportunities allow parents to see their children's educational environment firsthand while building relationships with teachers and other families.
Athletic Support
Our sports programs rely on parent volunteers for coaching assistance, team management, and game-day support. These volunteer roles often lead to lasting friendships among families who share the athletic experience.
Fundraising Activities
The PTF coordinates various fundraising efforts throughout the year, and parent participation helps ensure these initiatives succeed while strengthening community bonds.
The Partnership Approach to Education
Our school community operates on a partnership model where families and school work together toward common goals. This approach recognizes that the most effective education occurs when home and school are aligned in values, expectations, and support.
What Partnership Means at Liberty
The partnership between families and Liberty Christian School involves several key components:
Shared Responsibility: Both families and school share responsibility for student success, character development, and spiritual growth. This shared responsibility creates a stronger foundation for student achievement than either party could provide alone.
Open Communication: Our small school environment facilitates regular communication between families and teachers. Parents have direct access to teachers and administrators, creating transparency and trust that strengthens the partnership.
Aligned Values: Because families choose Liberty Christian School specifically for our Christian worldview and values, there's natural alignment between home and school expectations. This alignment reduces conflicts and creates consistency in the messages students receive.
Mutual Support: When challenges arise, families and school work together to find solutions. This collaborative approach models problem-solving and demonstrates the power of community support.
Long-Term Vision
Our partnership approach extends beyond immediate educational goals to encompass long-term vision for student development. Together, families and school work toward preparing students not just for academic success, but for lives of purpose, character, and faith. This shared long-term vision creates deeper connections within our school community as families invest in something larger than their individual experience.
Why Families Choose to Stay
The strength of our school community is evidenced by the families who choose to remain part of Liberty Christian School year after year. According to Principal Sandra Hills, the main reasons families stay include their love for our Christian school family atmosphere, the benefits of small class sizes, and the quality of our dedicated teachers.
These retention factors highlight what makes our community special:
- Personal Relationships: In our small school environment, every child is known personally by name by teachers and staff
- Genuine Care: Teachers and staff demonstrate authentic love and care for each family and student
- Academic Excellence: Our commitment to quality education within a Christian worldview provides the academic rigor families seek
- Character Development: The focus on spiritual growth and character development aligns with family values
- Community Support: Families find the support network they need for both academic and personal challenges
