History
The school was started by local Church of Christ members in 1967 and moved to its present location at 11549 Snyder Road in 1979. The school added a new high school building in 2010, a new baseball complex in 2011, and a new gymnasium was completed in late 2013. The basketball courts are named The Wade & Allan Houston Courts through a partnership with the athletes.
The current President of KCS is Bobby Simpson. The vice president is Bud Ford.[2]
Academics
Knoxville Christian School began as a K-5 institution but has expanded over the years to include a comprehensive K-12 offering. The school offers AP courses in core subject areas and has college-credit opportunities with nearby Pellissippi State Community College. As a Christian school, students take courses in the Bible and also attend a twice-weekly chapel.
Knoxville Christian has accreditations from AdvancED, formerly Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and the National Christian School Association (NCSA).[3]
In 2012 KCS had an enrollment of greater than 220 students, almost triple the amount the school had in 2008. Through college prep classes the students have improved ACT scores to a 24 average - higher than the state and national averages. [1]

They currently field teams in basketball for K-12 both boys and girls, volleyball for girls in Middle and High School, cheerleading at all levels, bowling for grades 8-12, cross country, soccer for middle school and high school, and flag football.[4] The basketball team is coached by Geno Anderson and Shane Lowery.
