History
Greenville Christian School was formulated in the minds of concerned Christian parents from Christ Wesleyan Methodist Church. The school opened in late August, 1969, at the Greenville Hotel with thirty-seven students in grades one through nine.
In 1972, the new facility at Highway 1 south was completed, and the fall classes began. The school grew rapidly, and increased enrollment necessitated additional classrooms.
In 1979, the school was recognized under the governing body of the Greenville Christian School Parents' Association.
Since 1983, four new classrooms have been added, an athletic/training building has been constructed and a large science complex has been completed.
The school is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Mississippi Private School Asscociation.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“A country grows in history not only because of the heroism of its troops on the field of battle, it grows also when it turns to justice and to right for the conservation of its interests.”
—Aristide Briand (1862–1932)
“In the history of the human mind, these glowing and ruddy fables precede the noonday thoughts of men, as Aurora the sun’s rays. The matutine intellect of the poet, keeping in advance of the glare of philosophy, always dwells in this auroral atmosphere.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You treat world history as a mathematician does mathematics, in which nothing but laws and formulas exist, no reality, no good and evil, no time, no yesterday, no tomorrow, nothing but an eternal, shallow, mathematical present.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
