Academics

All CCSC students are prepared to succeed in college through a rigorous college preparatory curriculum. CCSC engages each student in meaningful work inside the school as well as within the larger community through internships and community-based projects.

Every CCSC graduate has gained admission to at least one post-secondary institution, with over 90% earning admission to 4-year colleges and universities. College persistence rates for CCSC graduates far surpass national averages for the student demographic CCSC serves.

 

Instructional Resources

CCSC has an internally-developed schoolwide instructional vision that guides effective planning and teaching for all faculty, shown in the figure below.

In addition, each academic department at CCSC has a vision statement that guides the way teachers in that department plan and teach. These vision statements are below.

CCSC’s science department has recently updated its curriculum to align to the 2016 Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Framework and the Next Generation Science Standards.
