The academic program of CCS is based on a spiral curriculum which integrates all subject areas and emphasizes the acquisition and development of the basic skills of reading, writing, computation problem solving and critical thinking. Students are taught how to learn and be thinkers who can make intelligent choices. The complete program is designed to motivate students to the joy and challenge of learning as a life long pursuit. Each month field trips supplement classroom learning.
Opportunities abound for enrichment travel with several overnight expeditions and camping trips.
In the upper grades our students also have the opportunity for overseas travel and worldwide community service. The brain is a spiral labyrinth. CCS and its curriculum follow this spiral along the path of mystery and the progressive attainment of knowledge. Sir Francis Drake Blvd.
