The admin, faculty, and staff sincerely care about not just my own children but our entire family as well. They nurture and love my children as if they were their own. They foster a love of Jesus and a love of learning. They go above and beyond to reach out to parents to keep us informed.My children truly enjoy attending CCS and we love taking them to school too.
