What made my school positively stand out from others were the teachers and environment. Everyone in general was very kind, especially since respecting and uplifting others was part of the honor policy. The teachers at my school genuinely cared about the students. Not only did they care about the student's academic performance, but for their physical/mental health as well. Every teacher I interacted with would gladly take time out of their day to help me with school work outside of class, or simply ask me how my day was. That's why students and teachers at my school have great relationships and even can be considered friends. AP art is the best!
I love this school! Each and every grade prepares you for the next. In all my 9 years at this school, I have never been disappointed with it. All the teachers, faculty, and staff are kind, understanding, loving, and smart. I couldn't ask for better teachers. All the projects I did in elementary school were entertaining and fun. In middle school, I enjoy reasearching for projects. Despite COVID guidelines, my 6th grade year went good. I would have liked to be in-person more, but we want to be safe. I like how this year we get to choose as well. Miss Rohr prepares us great for 6th grade. She taught us great study skills and about learning. The teachers don't correct us harshly. I feel safe at this school and couldn't think that this school could be much better. Mr. Leach does a great job running this school, and I am very greatful. So far, this year has been great! I would just like to say to the faculty and staff at CLS, thank you so, so much for all that you do for us as students!
We transferred our children to CLS early in the Pandemic from MCPS to receive in-person schooling so we can continue to work. The amount of dedication and selflessness the staff and teachers displayed during this challenging and stressful time was a testament to their pride in their work and love of God.
The quality in the schooling is good. Cursive, hand writing, language arts and grammar were deficient in the public schools and I was grateful that it is emphasized here. There was a lot of catching up for my kids! Living a life of good character is discussed regularly.
My older child’s math did not grow much this year but it was because he was in accelerated math and this is not available at the school. I hope this can change.
We are keeping both our children in this school this coming year.
