I'm giving CCS a 5 star review but probably for a much different reason than most.
My children were in the public school and doing exceptionally well, except for one. Although they were all thriving academically, one of my kiddos has Aspergers Syndrome and was having a difficult time with sensory overload. The public school was amazing about how they put together a plan to work with his accommodations and they monitored him very well. But a mama knows her chick's heart better than anyone. My little guy was struggling inside. I could not afford to send my kids to a private school so I looked into homeschooling. There are some amazing homeschooling communities in Col. but deep in my heart, I knew this was not our solution. I took it to prayer and decided to check out the private schools because if it was meant to be, God would provide. In the end, we chose to send our child to CCS because it goes all the way to highschool. Our child would need routine and familiarity and this would work. Now, here's why I give the school a 5 star: God is breathed into my children every single day. They have Bible class every day, the curriculum points to God, the teacher's pray with them, & they have chapel once a week. And my favorite, when there's a disciplinary matter, they bring it back to God. We saw such a huge change in our child. He actually felt good about himself for the very first time because he was now surrounded by peers and staff who are reminded every day that they are each unique creations of God. All our children now attend CCS, at their pleading. We prayed together for God to provide and he has. CCS is not a perfect school. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the public schools have. But it does have something far more powerful...God. I sat through an upper grade chapel service in tears. They do not sugar-coat anything at this school. These kids are not in a bubble nor are they sheltered. They present life right in front of them and show them how God is in it. I never had that when I was in school. I had band, sports, activities that this school does not offer but in the end, my heart needed what these kids are getting...the Truth! read more
