I had 6 children attend CCS. Three have graduated, all 3 will tell you the high school program is not challenging at all, everyone is pushed through, and they would not recommend the high school program for anyone. I recently had to pull my 2 middle schoolers due to sexual assault. The assault was pushed under a rug and the conversation was told to be dropped. I have the emails as proof. My elementary child was kicked out over summer due to the headmasters dislike of me, which stemmed from the sexual assault of my middle schoolers. This is pick and choose school that refuses to protect its students and that has everything to do with who runs the school.

Best decision I ever made to move my kids to CCS. The teachers and staff love the kids and parents equally. You feel like family there and the outpouring of support is incredible!

Very few parents fully understand the real complexity of this school. As a parent I have observed that not all the classes have the required text books and other needed materials, such as a shortage in textbooks and a lack of operating computers in the computer lab! There is also a huge teacher turnover generally each year due to some teachers quiting and others being fired through unusual and undocumented charges by the Administrator. The Administer lacks a formal background in education, teaching, and management skills necessary to oversee this school. The Board itself has to few active members and give too much authority to its head administrator, which has caused past problems. This school offers false promises. Check their page and look at the teachers and ask them how many years they've been there, then check out the computers to see if they all work, and ask to see the textbooks, which many are outdated or not enough for all students! Resources for at need students is severly lacking unless its been fixed over the last year. If you place your child here, you should be prepared to do a lot over oversight.

CCS is a wonderful school. I currently have 2 children enrolled at the school and we have loved the school for the past few years that they have attended. Each subject is taught according to the NC Standard Course of Study (regardless of what others have said); and teachers are able to bring God into the classroom and their teaching. The teachers are great and actually care about students, which you don't find in some public schools. Great administration as well! We will be staying at CCS until our children graduate high school!!

My children have always attended the public school system so I was hesitant to try something new for my 9th grader. I can't express what a blessing this has been to both my child and my family. CCS is now our extended family and my daughter comes home everyday with excitement for learning that she has never had before. She literally breaths in everything this school has to offer and she is better for it. Thank you CCS staff and student body <3
