Signature Programs

A CSS education is a student-centered education in which students learn by doing. Teachers generate opportunities both in- and outside of the classroom to actively engage students in the learning process. This helps them absorb and synthesize information on a deeper level and to make connections between what they learn and what is happening in the “real world.”

The CSS leadership curriculum and social and emotional learning programs are based on cutting-edge research and trends, and founded on the belief that empathy and courage are essential to overcoming challenges.

Exposure to a comprehensive fine arts program at a young age encourages students to improve their observational, fine motor, teamwork and communication skills, and to develop an appreciation for aesthetics. The stage also becomes a familiar and well-loved place for CSS students to enrich their educational experience, with the complexity of performances increasing as students progress through the program.

A variety of clubs and activities offered at CSS encourage exploration and curiosity to help students discover their own unique interests and passions at a young age.

CSS athletic programs balance traditional individual and team sports with offerings like volleyball and mountain biking. We meld competitiveness and inclusivity and employ top-notch coaches at CSS to help students not only enhance their skill level in each sport, but also learn the importance of fitness, teamwork and fair play.
