Five Pillars of Excellence The goal of CCS’ educational program is to motivate each student as they work towards achieving excellence in all they do. At CCS ‘excellence’ means striving for one’s own best and fulfilling the potential that God has given each child. It is about challenging preconceived notions of what we are good at and daring to try what might frighten us. It is about developing our gifts and using them to impact the world. Excellence in education is about developing the whole child - intellectually, emotionally, physically, socially and artistically.
