We learned about CCS from my aunt in a family gathering a few years ago.  She praised CCS for its academic excellence, friendly and approachable staff and diverse curriculum.  We attended CCS open house and felt that this school is a good fit for our triplets.  Our kids has attended Amelia Earhart Elementary in Alameda from first to fourth grade.  Earhart is highly rated, but the class room sizes are too big.  CCS provides smaller classes, a more diverse curriculum such as learning Chinese and its culture, and exposure to more academic challenges, contests and competitions in a nurturing environment that expects good conduct and values from the students.  

Transition from Earhart to CCS has been seamless.  Both the CCS staff and classmates are friendly, helpful, and approachable.  They quickly have gotten used to their daily routines and have done well academically.  Outside of the classroom, they enjoy playing volleyball with their friends, taking on challenges in the spelling bee, Odyssey of the Mind, and Mandarin Speech contests, and of course, participating in the educational and fun-filled field trips.  Over the past two years, we have noticed that they became more respectful, positive and independent.  We are very glad that we are a part of CCS.
