Our History

The Granite State Christian Schools Association grew out of in-service training seminars sponsored by the Concord Christian Schools and the Epsom Learning Center. As the teachers and administrators of various Christian schools got better acquainted and shared ideas, the need for such an association became apparent. Election of the officers and formal organization of the Granite State Christian School Association was accomplished in September, 1986. Since the inception in the mid-80's, a core function of the association has been hosting the GSCSA Educators Conference. We bring in educational and worldview specialists to challenge our students, faculty, board members and leadership teams. A long standing tradition associated with the Conference is the Awards Banquet when we honor the region's best Christian educators and leaders. Keynote presenters in recent years have been Sean McDowell, Ellen Lowrie Black, Jeff Myers, Penny Clawson, Axis Group, Jennifer Strickland and Pam Brady.
