Introduction to iChampion

iChampion is the Learning Management System (LMS) for the Center and Champion Christian School. Guests may view certain classes without having a username and password, but most users will need a username and password to access the system. All CCS students and parents from CCS have a login and username assigned to them. There are introductiory classes that are developed for each user group to help learn how to navigate this blended format of learning. The development of basic navigation skills are necessary to use the system. Your first class will be the introduction to iChampion for your appropriate usergroup.

Email us at info@champion.org for additional information about this exciting way to access Christian classes at the Center.

Classes Available to Everyone

Re-Thinking K-12 Education from a Christian Worldview?

In continuing our mission of educating, equipping, and engaging the world for Christ, we have been engaged in the integration of technology since our early roots. Our blended learning programs start at the upper Elementary level and are very advanced at the High School level. In fact, we have many blended and some completely online classes that are designed to provide high school and dual enrollment class credits for students. In addition the Center has developed a relationship with several Christian Universites which enables High School Students to take online College Level Dual Enrollment Classes.

The CCS classes are offered by instructors at Champion Christian School and provide the following in a semester-long academic course:

1. Academic credit for high school students and dual credit opportunities for several classes such as
Introduction to Psychology, Literature, History, and others
2. An awareness of a subject from a distinctly Christian worldview
3. An ability to take the class online and in the comfort of your own home, and yet have the personal touch of an instructor who is available for additional help if needed

Classes officially begin at the start of either the fall or winter semesters, but the add-drop period lasts just a few weeks after those start dates. Cost for each class is determined annually, but regular CCS Online courses do not cost CCS students any fees to take them for High School Credit. Dual credit classes for College Credit are available for a fee. Online classes are available to students enrolled in other schools for a fee. There is a discount for any student who enrolls in advance. Some courses also have a required book that you may need to purchase if there are not enough copies in either of the Center's libraries. Register by emailing us at info@champion.org for additional information.
