Coastal Christian Preparatory School was founded as a ministry of First Baptist Church in 1953. For over 70 years, our school has faithfully served families in Mount Pleasant and its surrounding communities. I am incredibly thankful for the legacy established so many years ago and for the exciting, trusted ministries and programming that continue on our campus on a daily basis. 

Our dedicated team takes our CCPS mission to heart as we commit to “assist parents in raising children to their God-given potential emotionally, spiritually, academically, and physically for a lifetime of Kingdom-building service.” We highly value providing a Christian environment where students learn not only to make wise life choices, but also to love God and love others well. We also value producing confident, secure students who celebrate their unique qualities and boldly pursue their dreams. We value preparing students academically through challenging courses, small classes, and individualized instruction. We also strive to provide opportunities for our students to excel outside the classroom. From a physical perspective, we value developing students with strength, endurance, and character through engaging physical education classes and supportive athletic opportunities.

Not only am I abundantly thankful for the wonderful students and families that invest in the CCPS experience, but as a leader, I am humbled daily by the amazing Faculty and Staff members that have been drawn to serve on our campus. They are fully committed to our students, and they serve with a gracious spirit of faith, joy, and professionalism. It is an incredible blessing to serve alongside them each day.

Throughout this school year, our campus will celebrate the message declared in our 2026-2027 focus verse, Colossians 3:17 –"And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Indeed, we are overflowing with gratitude for what our Heavenly Father is doing in the lives of our students, we fully trust in the Lord’s steadfast faithfulness, and it is our privilege to serve all stakeholders associated with our wonderful school!

Many thanks and many blessings,

Jaeson May

CCPS Head of School
