Mission Statement
As part of the Church, Coastal Christian School's mission is to assist Christian parents in providing excellence in the spiritual, academic, social and physical aspects of education in order to develop the whole person, integrating God's Word in all areas of education, preparing students to serve God in all areas of life.

History
Coastal Christian School was originally incorporated in 1971 as Central Coast Christian Academy. It was started by parents interested in providing Christian education and was established as a missionary outreach of the Presbyterian Church of Arroyo Grande. In September 1971, the school opened with four teachers and an enrollment of 39 students in grades K-6. In January of the same year, junior-high classes were added. In 1978, the Academy added its high-school program and graduated its first four seniors in 1979.

In 1986, the school became Coastal Christian School to reflect its multi-church sponsorship. Coastal Christian is a non-denominational school that encompasses Kindergarten through 12th Grade. The school is temporarily housed at Landmark Missionary Baptist Church on Farroll Avenue in Arroyo Grande.
