Student Life at CCCS
Joy and kindness fill our classrooms, halls, and playground. Parents and staff can sense God's Spirit at work throughout school life, and few things lift the heart like seeing older students befriend the younger ones or students warmly engage their teachers.
Living History Days
Living history days bring the past to life in a way no textbook can. When students step into the clothing, customs, and challenges of another era, they begin to inhabit history, building memory, empathy, and a deeper understanding of God's providence through the ages. These days echo the biblical call to tell the coming generation of the Lord's mighty works (Psalm 78:4), turning history into a living story students carry with them.
Classical education promotes a holistic approach to learning, valuing not just academic achievement but also the growth of character, personal development, and social abilities.
Fine Arts
Fine arts at our school form the whole child, training the eye to see, the hand to create, and the voice to praise. Through drawing, painting, singing, and writing, students learn to notice beauty, shape it with care, and offer it back to the Giver of every good gift. Like Bezalel, whom God filled with skill and craftsmanship for His work (Exodus 31:3-5), our students grow in discipline and delight, discovering that creating what is true, good, and beautiful is a way of reflecting the Creator in whose image they are made.
Athletics
Athletics at our school train the body as faithfully as we train the mind, teaching students discipline, perseverance, and the joy of running well together. Through Cross Country for grades 1-12, Jr. High and High School Girls Volleyball, and Jr. High and High School Boys and Girls Basketball, students learn humility in victory, grace in defeat, and the strength of laboring side by side as a team. These lessons echo the apostle Paul's charge to run in such a way as to win the prize (1 Corinthians 9:24-25) and the call to do all things, whether in work or play, for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31).
Poetry & Prose Symposium
The Poetry and Prose Symposium invites students to give voice to the true, the good, and the beautiful through the written and spoken word. As they memorize, recite, and craft their own work, they learn to love language and to use it with clarity, grace, and conviction. Like the psalmist whose heart overflowed with a noble theme and whose tongue was the pen of a ready writer (Psalm 45:1), our students discover that eloquence is a gift to be offered back in praise of the Giver.
