Curriculum
CPCS offers all levels of the education ladder in one building (Elementary, Middle, and High School). Studies include the core subjects of English, Math, Science, and History. CPCS also offers to students an optional creative arts course including band, chorus, and studio art. The school currently has two foreign language options which are French and Spanish. They are joined together into an after-school program, the Foreign Language club. The Foreign Language club has taken annual trips to Montreal, QC, Canada since 2006.
CPCS offers Advanced Placement courses in all the core subjects in the high school. These classes are usually sponsored by the College Board and are given AP tests in May that may end up counting for one semester of the class at the college level.
CPCS also has ties with New York's BOCES program.

Famous quotes containing the word curriculum:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
