"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."

"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."
