We would like to present options for financial aid opportunities for the 2024-25 school year. We are excited about what CCS is able to provide concerning financial assistance and hope that you will be able to navigate the process with ease. We believe that God brings each family to us for a special purpose, and we look forward to your family continuing in the CCS community.
