History
Boca Raton Christian School was founded in 1973 as a ministry of Boca Raton Community Church.
The school was first accredited in 1978 by the Florida Council
of Independent Schools. It added a second accreditation
with the Association of Christian Schools International in 1987. In
1995, accreditation with the Florida Kindergarten Council was
received. The
school was recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School in 1990
and again in 1997.
The K3-12 campus is situated on approximately 22 acres in downtown
Boca Raton. The main school building was built in 1978 and
a classroom/office wing was added in 1993. In that same
year the church built a Recreation and Athletic Center which
has provided a gymnasium for the school. Six more classrooms
were added to the east wing in 1998. In 1999 the high school
opened on the grounds of Community Real Community Church, now
Calvary Chapel Boca Raton. In 2008 the two campuses were consolidated
on the Boca Raton Community Church grounds.
