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.

“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Boys forget what their country means by just reading “the land of the free” in history books. Then they get to be men, they forget even more. Liberty’s too precious a thing to be buried in books.”
