“As students, we have been given an invaluable education through remarkable relationships. What we learned through the years we will carry with us to college and through the rest of our lives.”
"I take great care not to be a 'presenter of information.' Rather, I try to create an environment where students can read, talk, and write about important ideas with intelligence and confidence."
"CCS prepares students for the next level—academically, spiritually, and athletically. The coaching staff is very dedicated to helping players pursue athletics as high as they can."
Ray Padron, Upper School Fine Arts Department Head
"Creative exploration opens us up to the profound uniqueness within God's Creation, allowing us to share - through artistic expression - a deep understanding of and empathy for the world around us."
"I've seen the clubs and the other programs become places where kids have really been able to grow into themselves and see how God can use them now and especially in the future."
"We value a CCS education so much and want to help make it accessible to as many people as possible. It's a privilege to be part of this because others went before us and gave so that even I had the chance to go to CCS years ago."
