Christian Schools International
Christian Schools International was founded in 1943 to operate the contributory defined-benefit plan for staff at member Christian schools. The organization maintains its headquarters in Grandville, Michigan, and supports curriculum, accreditation, and leadership programs alongside the pension function. The pension plan allocates across equities, fixed income, and alternatives, with a documented 9.26 percent position in private equity. Confirmed holdings include a commitment to HG Vora Opportunistic Capital Fund II and a historical long equity stake in Eni SpA. Geographic exposure centers on North American plan participants with limited international public-market positions. The plan covers multiple employers and is administered with support from TIAA, TAG Resources, and Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. Jennifer Thompson was appointed CEO in August 2023. The organization also operates the Christian Schools International Foundation, which provides grants for curriculum and school development. Governance separates the pension plan from the broader association activities through distinct legal entities and service providers, including actuarial work by Milliman and audit services from CapinCrouse.
