Parent Testimonial

"I am a proud parent of a fifth-grade student at CCC, and I am thrilled to share our wonderful experience with the school as my child transitions to sixth grade.

From the start, CCC has been exceptional in every way. The academic excellence, supportive staff, and diverse extracurricular opportunities have greatly enriched my child’s education. The strong sense of community and focus on character building have helped my child grow into a well-rounded individual.
