Our Strategy

1

Laying the Foundation

Our strategic approach began with developing and implementing a new model focused on system-wide change in the following areas:

Improve and Standarize Academics

Our enhanced curriculum is designed to help students develop strong academic skill sets and a mindset for success at an early age. CCS makes targeted investments in Science, Math, Latin/Greek, Fine Arts, Music, and many other innovative programs to prepare students well beyond their time at CCS co-sponsored academies.

Lay Governance

Shifting oversight from a parish to a regional lay board, with volunteer expertise in business, education, facilities, etc. to enable our schools to better adapt to academic and financial demands.

Consolidate & Renovate Struggling Schools

Upgrading school facilities, some ore than 100 years old, to create state-of-the-art learning environments, where both students and teachers can thrive.

Invest in Teachers and School Leadership

A robust professional development program and performance-based compensation system have resulted in increased teacher retention and higher student achievement rates. Programs include increased compensation, college loan forgiveness, leadership development programs, and a master's degree program in partnership with Boston College.
