History of CPRS

Center Place Restoration School was founded in 1991 by the efforts of Restoration Branches across the country. Our mission is to lead youth to a relationship with Jesus Christ and equip them with the skills necessary to excel in today's ever-changing world.

The school has served grades K-12 since it opened, and started a Pre-K program in 2017 thanks to the support of many generous donors.

Today, CPRS continues to strives for excellence as we provide students with an innovative education and Kingdom-focused upbringing. We request your prayers as we seek to make the CPRS ministry beneficial to its families, truly honoring to God, and a testimony to all those around us.
