The school administration consists of a Principal, Vice Principal, Finance and Business Director, Preschool Director, Extended Care Director, and several other key office staff personnel.

Dr. Shawn Stuart is Principal of the school and began his career with CCS in 1999. Dr. Stuart embarked upon his teaching career at Valley Christian Schools, teaching 10th and 11th grade English, before becoming a part of the CCS team. His experience working with a variety of ages over the years built in him a unique perspective to encourage and motivate the children at CCS. Dr. Stuart attended UCLA for his Bachelors degree(Sociology major; minors in Business and Education) and Masters degree (Counseling in Student Affairs). During his time there, he played football for the Bruins. He was a two-time Academic All American, an all Pac-10 player, and earned an NCAA post-graduate scholarship. Dr. Stuart received his doctorate in 2007 from the University of San Francisco. His research dissertation focused on parent and teacher perceptions of student academic ability and motivation.

Their son, JB, is loved and nurtured in the infant center everyday.

Campbell Christian Schools is a religiously affiliated 501c3 non-profit corporation in the State of California.  Incorporated in 1967, the school is under the oversight of a board of directors.  Our school board’s primary responsibility is to present policy and support to the operations duties of the head administrator.  The school board consists of a consortium of business leaders, parents of past and current students of Campbell Christian Schools, and civil servants who are not paid for their service and give of their talents because of their love of the school and interest in Christian and public ministry.  The school board meets monthly, usually the third Sunday of the month.  Parents may present policy issues or major complaints to the school board if they arise.

Please contact the school office if you wish to attend the meeting or discuss an issue with a board member.  

At Campbell Christian Schools we view technology as both helpful and efficient for operations and student instruction. We feel we have done an exemplary job at integrating technology to enhance parent/teacher communication and to enrich the teaching environment for our children. CCS technology purchases and integration are governed by a school technology plan. This plan is formulated from teacher, parent, and administrator input and outlines yearly goals and purchasing plans for continued upgrade and new programs using technology.

Administration and Technology: In order to enhance parent, teacher, and administration communication, CCS has implemented the RenWeb web based database and information system. This system allows parents to view homework, lesson plans, school pictures, attendance, grades, and school and class announcements. Additionally, parents can change, electronically, database information such as emergency contacts, pick up lists, and parent demographic information. This system, along with voicemail, email, and email groups, allows us to better communicate the many activities necessary for school administration. Not only are our parents more informed and involved, but they are able to access information and communicate more effectively with the administration and teaching staff.

Students and Technology: The students at Campbell Christian Schools are immersed in technology instruction and use. All academic, enrichment, and all purpose rooms in the elementary building include LCD projectors, speakers, and multimedia equipment. Teachers are assigned a tablet PC computer. These computers provide an electronic writing surface and multimedia tool to project written work, websites, slideshow presentations, and audio/visual media from the internet on our LCD projectors in the classrooms. Instructors may check out notebook computers for activities or for Accelerated Reader testing, our current, data driven, reading comprehension program. Pre-kindergarten through 5th grade students have computer class once a week. These classes meet in our notebook computer lab (23 notebook computers), which provide the students the opportunity to work on his or her own computer during the class. Skills such as typing, word processing, slideshow presentation, and computer program use are taught during these times. Additionally, students are provided the opportunity to use computers during extended care and summer program. All internet connections for students are filtered for objectionable content.
