Our Mission & Vision

Our goal is to partner with parents who will:

• Affirm the role of CCS as one of delegated authority where teachers and staff serve in loco parentis – in the place of the parents. 
• Be well informed about the methods and goals of classical Christian education.
• Have a growing respect for the classics; books, music, paintings, traditions, manners, and beliefs that have stood the test of time because of their enduring cultural value.
• Encourage their children to be disciplined and diligent and generally support the school’s teachers and staff.
• Have a sense of responsibility toward the school that manifests as prayerful support and a cheerful giving of time and resources.
