Background

Greater Cincinnati Christian High School was established in 1971 at the Springdale Baptist Church. The same year, Tri-County Christian Elementary School opened for grades kindergarten through 3rd, operated by Tri-County Assembly of God Church. In 1973, Tri-County added 4th through 6th grades. In 1975 Tri-County assumed control of Greater Cincinnati Christian, forming a Kindergarten through 12th grade educational system.

In 1993, the schools separated financially and operationally from the Tri-County Assembly of God Church and became Cincinnati Christian Schools. The schools are now operated by a non-denominational board of directors.
