Our school represents a diverse population that welcomes all families and students. We provide learning at the highest academic standards which includes Project Based Learning and an innovative academic curriculum. Each semester we complete a project using Project Based Learning. We take pride in incorporating the arts that includes an upper elementary and middle school band, choir, spotlight theatre club that includes yearly musicals, and two Art teacher's specializing in elementary and middle school art. Our music program includes dazzling winter and spring musical theatrical performances. Our school embraces PBIS principles throughout all grades. We support all students social-emotional learning through daily class meetings, universal language, and a consistent rewards system that supports family members and students.

 

In our pursuit of a more fair, just, and good system of education, it is CMSD’s vision that each of our learners, both each of our scholars and each of their educators, is individually and collectively presented with academically/intellectually complex tasks that are worthy of their productive struggle and allows them authentic opportunities to demonstrate their work and their learning of academic content and transferable skills in a joyful and adventurous environment.
