Stone vs Brick Method
CCS believes that God makes stones and man makes bricks. Each child is fearfully and wonderfully made. Because of this, CCS provides individualized academic pathways based on the student’s and family’s desires, passions, and academic and personal strengths.
Whether the student desires to continue their education at a university/college level or has a desire to enter into a trade school or the work force, CCS is positioning each child to win.
Our Approach
1. Individual Academic Plan
Creating an individual plan for student success consists of multiple avenues of support. It is the desire of CCS to tailor a successful plan for your child to thrive.
2. Relational Education
One of the key components of education is relationship. We intend that our teachers serve as mentors with exemplary Godly character, demonstrating excellence in their subject area starting in kindergarten through twelfth grade. CCS has a distinctive trust relationship between the school, teacher, and parents.
-
Small classroom sizes: Our teacher to student ratio is 1:15, which allows our teachers to not only develop individual relationships, but maintain the quality of instructional time.
-
Small group learning: Our students are provided with daily opportunities to learn within a condensed group of classmates, allowing independent evaluation, as well team-building development.
-
Communication: Open communication is a vital part of any successful partnership. CCS utilizes multiple forms of open communication with students and parents through weekly e-mails, take home communication folders, and quarterly conferences.
Academic Excellence
CCS believes that the spirit of excellence should be evident in our academics.
We accomplish this by holding ourselves to a standard of excellence in the classroom through cutting edge technology, challenging curriculum, and engaging classroom instruction.
Whether the student desires to continue their education at a university/college level or has a desire to enter into a trade school or the work force, CCS is positioning each child to win.
Our Approach
1. Accreditation
The standard of excellence begins with our instructors. CCS’s faculty continues to maintain the standards set forth by the Florida League of Christian Schools and is accredited through their organization, which is a part of International League of Christian Schools. In addition, CCS is accredited with Cognia (formerly Advanced Ed) which accredits 36,000 institutions in 85 countries.
2. How We Test
CCS believes in utilizing multiple testing strategies to create an accurate depiction of a student’s academic growth all while looking at the whole child. Data is a tool that we use to hold ourselves accountable as a school, evaluate our progress, as well as develop the best individual learning plan for each child.
