In 1964, Seminole Presbyterian Church established Seminole Presbyterian School as a beacon in the Tampa community for Christian Education. Today, Cambridge Christian School is an independent Christian School that has become the premier Christian School in the greater Tampa area.

From its early foundation, Cambridge Christian School sought to reach the community for Christ through the avenue of education. As an evangelistic school, Cambridge seeks to raise up future leaders who academically, socially, and spiritually can serve the local and global community for Christ. Cambridge is unapologetic in our belief that the use of Biblical training is essential in developing students who will reach the highest level of professionalism in their local communities. Cambridge was founded to develop individuals that will change the world, and today we have over 1500 alumni who are doing just that.

Cambridge is focused on providing our families with a rigorous educational experience that also allows the student to grow their talents in the arts and athletics. Serving students from three months through twelfth grade allows Cambridge to partner with families, literally from the cradle to diploma. When you partner with Cambridge Christian School, you will experience a nationally accredited education that exists to educate the whole child.

You ask, what is Cambridge Christian School all about? We are all about serving Christ through excellence; excellence at every level. When you attend Cambridge, it is a full family experience, a legacy spanning generations of Lancers, and it will transform the way you think about education. There is nothing like CCS in the Tampa community. We invite you to come and take a priority tour, and see for yourself what a difference a Cambridge Christian education can mean for your family.

Serving Christ through Excellence in Academics, Athletics, and Fine Arts

Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some of our families are saying:

We have been at Cambridge since 2011 and we love it just as much as we did when we first started. I think the most special part of our school is the teachers. They truly care for our children as though they are their own.

– The Benoist Family

When we think of Cambridge, we think of family. Our daughters started at Cambridge in kindergarten and preschool and now one is in college and the other a junior. They have been blessed to learn what it is like to be part of a community that learns together, grows together, believes in each other, and strives to glorify God in all areas of life. It is a joy when we can see God at work in our children’s lives and in the lives of our Cambridge family.

– The Grove Family

Our family’s ties to Seminole Presbyterian/Cambridge Christian School run long and deep. Two generations have been involved in administration and instruction. A third generation has benefitted greatly from its array of opportunities in academics, athletics, and fine arts set on a background of a Biblical worldview. CCS played an invaluable role in the lives of all six of our children. We are thankful to our God that He has kept this school close to His heart.

– The Taylor Family

I thank God for Seminole Presbyterian (Cambridge). The education that I received allowed me to attain my goal of becoming a doctor and maintain the Christian values I hope to instill in my beautiful children. Thank you for these gifts!

– Dr. Amy Hessler
