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:
“If we should swap a good library for a second-rate stump speech and not ask for boot, it would be thoroughly in tune with our hearts. For deep within each of us lies politics. It is our football, baseball, and tennis rolled into one. We enjoy it; we will hitch up and drive for miles in order to hear and applaud the vitriolic phrases of a candidate we have already reckoned we’ll vote against.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
