History
Cambridge Christian School was established as Seminole Presbyterian School in 1964. The school was started and sponsored by the Seminole Presbyterian Church. By the end of the 1990s, the growing needs of the school necessitated its formal separation from the church. In 2000, the school became its own legal entity and changed its name to the Cambridge School. The church and school would continue to share the Habana Avenue campus for the next few years as the school decided whether to move to a different location. In 2003, the Board of Trustees voted to change the name of the school to Cambridge Christian School, decided that it would remain on the Habana campus, began the process of purchasing the campus from Seminole Presbyterian Church, and began to acquire adjacent land for future expansion.
