Academic Information

JUNIOR HIGH

Grades seven and eight are classified as the junior high. Students move from class to class, as does the high school, but do not have all the privileges of high school students.

 

HIGH SCHOOL

The high school curriculum is designed to provide a solid basis in basic knowledge as well as opportunities to pursue areas of special interest. Most electives are reserved for the junior and senior years. (Choir is one elective class open to freshmen and sophomores. The choir meets three times per week, practicing vocal music for performances, which include the Christmas and Spring Programs, area programs in churches, music contest, and an annual choir tour. The choir is a commitment that should be considered carefully before enrolling. Time outside of school is required.)

Due to small class sizes, many required classes are offered every other year to two grade levels. For example, biology is offered to freshmen and sophomores every second year. On alternate years, basic science is offered. Thus, all students get both classes in either their freshmen or sophomore year.

One credit is earned for each class that meets five periods per week for one semester. All other classes are rated by comparison to that standard.

A minimum class load is 11 credits per year.

 

 

ENROLLMENT FOR RETURNING FAMILIES

1. Students in grades seven through twelve must sign the Student Commitment Form.

2. High school students will be given course selection forms to complete with their parents.  These must be returned by the specified date.

3. CCS reserves the right to deny enrollment to returning students, if it seems in the best interest of the school to do so.  Families will be denied enrollment if tuition for the past year is unpaid.
