CORE VALUES

In addition to the rigorous academic curriculum at Charleston Collegiate School, we recognize the value of developing the whole person. Not only do we develop the content areas of traditional academics, but we also place a premium on curriculum to develop students’ intrapersonal and interpersonal skills that will set learners on the path for their healthy wellbeing and for their success in their futures. 

Through a project-based, learner-centered environment, students are given the opportunity to develop their interpersonal skills and connect content knowledge with real-world applications. The academic curriculum prepares students for the challenges that they will face after high school, and readies students for college and beyond, while the CCS Wellness program promotes building an inclusive and supportive environment for all students, centered on its core values.

While our R.I.S.E. Core Values and Success Skills’ education is infused through our core curriculum, we preserve our “Wellness Wednesdays” to devote teaching and learning time specifically to Character, Citizenship, and Skills. This program allows for students to develop the skills that reach beyond the core subject areas and provides them the opportunity to develop critical habits for success. 

We place a premium on curriculum to develop students’ intrapersonal and interpersonal skills that will set learners on the path for their healthy wellbeing and for their success in their futures.  

In addition to the academic program at Charleston Collegiate School, we recognize the value of developing the whole person.  In Lower School, the school family is created by consciously utilizing inclusive language that fosters a caring and compassionate environment. In Middle and Upper School, the school family is developed even more with devoting each Wednesday (Wellness Wednesday) to the Character, Citizenship, and Skills (CCS) Curriculum.
