The experience is overall nice. A lot of admin changes, changing positions. It's a school that is still evolving, and it still needs time to settle. Expensive.

I have loved every moment here. The one on one with teachers aspect makes getting things done incredibly simple. I have never felt more welcome at a school. It provides challenging academics which prepares me for college really well.

CSS is a college prep school that prepares you for life very well. It gives you experiences outside of the classroom--the ECS program has allowed me to travel to both Puerto Rico and France to do community service and learn about culture, and the Walkabout program brought my 8th grade class to Utah in order to understand the natural world. The experiential education is amazing, as well as the normal classes.

Although we have been at the school a short time, my son has blossomed and loves coming to school each day. The opportunities for hands on learning and outdoor education are unmatched. I have found the teachers to be extremely caring and hardworking.

The school mission is to shape the students into “leaders wh...

We had a terrible experience with this school. There are almost no opportunities for parents to engage with on-site school events or interact with other families. There is basically zero diversity but they try to promote themselves as this socially woke school that is so diverse. It’s so performativ...
