October 30, 2024 – The Christ School is thrilled to announce it has earned an A+ rating from Niche, naming it one of the Best Schools in America and among Orlando’s top schools for 2025.

The Christ School warmly invites all TCS families, friends, and military veterans to join us for a special Veterans Day Chapel on Monday, November 11, at 8:15 a.m. We are honored to welcome guest speaker Carlos Cuevas, a retired United States Marine Corps Infantry Officer, to share his inspiring story of service and leadership.

Mr. Cuevas dedicated 15 years to the Marine Corps, serving in various operational roles, leading 50 to 800 personnel, that took him to locations across Southeast/Southwest Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Australia. His distinguished career included deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, where he led operations critical to U.S. military efforts. Carlos retired from active duty in 2015 with the rank of Major.

Carlos’s military leadership journey includes many noteworthy assignments:

• 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines (Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii)
  • Rifle platoon commander, company executive officer, company commander
• Marine Corps Security Forces Battalion (Norfolk, Virginia)
  • Security cadre liaison officer
• Third Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team (Norfolk, Virginia)
  • FAST platoon commander
• 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines (Twentynine Palms, CA)
  • Company commander
  • Military operations advisor to Iraq Ministry of Defense
• Marine Corps System Command (Quantico, VA)
  • Acquisition team leader
• 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines (Camp Pendleton, CA)
  • Battalion Operations Officer

Since transitioning from military service in 2015, Carlos completed a Master of Business Administration at the Crummer Graduate School of Business at Rollins College. After graduate school, he began a civilian career in the Construction and Defense industries. In 2020, Carlos returned to federal employment as a civil servant with the Department of Defense and currently serves in the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs.

Carlos stays involved with various organizations such as the Camaraderie Foundation, the Central Florida Marine Corps Foundation, the 1st  Marine Division Association, the Marine Corps League, the Navy League, Leadership Orlando, the Crummer School of Business – Mentor Program, and FourBlock. Carlos enjoys spending time and traveling with his wife, Erika, and their four children. His goal is to stay rooted in faith, seek the Lord’s guidance in every aspect of life, and make the most of every opportunity to give back to the community.

We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful Veterans Day Chapel, where we will take time to reflect on the sacrifices made by our veterans and celebrate their dedication to protecting our freedoms.

Event Details:

Date: Monday, November 11
Time: 8:15 a.m.
Location: Sanctuary

We look forward to seeing you there as we honor our veterans and hear Carlos Cuevas’s powerful testimony of service, faith, and leadership.

In a momentous occasion for The Christ School (TCS) and its dedicated dyslexia support program, The Bridge, the institution has been awarded an unprecedented grant from the Lighthouse Charitable Foundation. The grant, totaling over one million dollars, will be disbursed annually, amounting to $350,000 each year for the next three years.

The announcement was made by Alissa Plaisance, Director of The Bridge and Student Support for TCS at a recent parent event, where she expressed profound gratitude for the generosity of the Lighthouse Charitable Foundation and the ongoing support of the community. “This blessing will allow us to advance our program offerings in several crucial areas, benefiting not only The Bridge but all our students, including traditional and gifted learners.”

The grant will be instrumental in the following key initiatives:

1. Professional Development for Teachers: TCS is committed to maintaining the highest standards of education. The grant will facilitate extensive professional development opportunities for teachers, ensuring they remain at the forefront of innovative teaching methods including, but not limited to the Orton-Gillingham approach.
2. Transition Support for Students Entering Middle School: Recognizing the challenges students face during the transition to middle school, additional support and resources will be provided to ensure a seamless and positive experience for every student.
3. Financial Assistance for Families in Need: A portion of the grant will be dedicated to providing financial assistance to families facing economic challenges.
4. Expertise from Speech Language Pathologists and Occupational Therapists: To address the diverse needs of students, the grant will fund the inclusion of skilled professionals, including a speech-language pathologist and an occupational therapist, who will work collaboratively with educators to provide targeted assistance.

TCS Director of Development, Lindsay McKinney acknowledged the collective effort that has brought The Bridge program to this point, stating, “Our ability to help students reach their God-given potential is made possible by the generosity of the community who love and care for our children and our mission. We are grateful to our supporters and specifically the Lighthouse Foundation for their partnership in defining the gold standard in education for this unique group of learners. This gift will change lives.”

The impact of this grant will extend beyond supporting academics. “We feel so blessed and know that this gift from the Lighthouse Foundation will propel us to help more students and families who will ultimately grow in ways far beyond learning to read. This gift will help them grow closer to God and His Word,” Mrs. Plaisance shared.

As TCS embarks on this next phase for its Bridge program, the school invites the entire community to celebrate this significant milestone. The Lighthouse Charitable Foundation’s generous donation will not only elevate the educational experience for current students but will also open doors for more students and families to thrive in the future.
