Join Kingston Christian School and hit the links in support of our inaugural Grade 9 class this fall! This important fundraiser will help KCS defray startup costs with our brand-new high school, which welcomes its first class in September.

There is currently no private Christian high school option in Kingston. For years, parents wishing to send their children to a Christian high school would bus them (at an additional cost) to a Christian high school approximately one hour away. That school is at capacity, and students are being turned away.This type of educational option is something local families are seeking!

Please join us on August 2 to support local families and local Christian education. Thank you for your support!
