For over four decades, CCS has been established as a premier School in Christian education. CCS is founded on the biblical principle that the chief end of humanity is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. In order to do this, we must come to know who God is and view life from His perspective. It is our mission to partner with parents to educate their children with a commitment to excellence. Clinton Christian School was founded in 1966 by the Bible Baptist Church (now Life Church) located in Upper Marlboro, MD. The school started with nine kindergarten students in a 20 x 49, white shingled building located on Dangerfield Road. The Lord, in His grace, immensely blessed the Ministry of Life Church and Clinton Christian School from its early humble beginning. By 1972, the vacated Prince Georges Democratic Club building and the surrounding property was purchased by the ministry. A new facility was constructed and a sanctuary seating 630 was added. Today, the Lord continues to bless this ministry. The group of 9 kindergarten students has grown into a K4-12th grade distinctively Christian school.

Riverdale Baptist School (RBS) is a ministry of Riverdale Baptist Church. As a Christian educational institution, it will, therefore, reflect the philosophy, values and believers' lifestyle of Riverdale Baptist Church. The administration, faculty and staff are born-again, Biblebelieving Christians and active church members. The purpose of our education is threefold: to teach students how they can know God; once they know God, to teach them to follow God's principles as found in His Word; and finally, to train them to serve and glorify God through their lives. The above purposes can be fulfilled only after a person becomes born again. Students who profess to be believers in Christ will gain most from our Christian philosophy and environment. The primary purpose of RBS, however, is to assist parents in guiding their children into the knowledge and achievement of God's will for their lives.
