Program Background
CSM began in response to requests from local church and government authorities to establish a school with English-based curriculum and international training support as a means to bless and enrich their communities. The first CSM opened in Sulaymaniyah in January 2001 and currently enrolls approximately 1000 students in kindergarten through 12th grade. A second CSM opened in Duhok in the fall of 2002 and now enrolls over 200 students (K-4). In September 2003, a third CSM campus opened in Arbil which enrolls over 700 students (K-2-G9).

Famous quotes containing the words program and/or background:
“The rumor of a great city goes out beyond its borders, to all the latitudes of the known earth. The city becomes an emblem in remote minds; apart from the tangible export of goods and men, it exerts its cultural instrumentality in a thousand phases.”
—In New York City, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
