IRS990/MissionDesc0CCS IS A PROGRESSIVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN VAN NUYS, CALIFORNIA. FOR OVER 35 YEARS, THE SCHOOL HAS STRESSED HANDS-ON LEARNING, A DIVERSE ENVIRONMENT, AND INVOLVEMENT WITH THE COMMUNITY AROUND IT. CCS'S CURRICULUM PREPARES CHILDREN FOR CITIZENSHIP IN A DEMOCRACY. AT EVERY STEP, WE RELATE STUDY TO LIFE. WE BELIEVE THAT CHILDREN, JUST LIKE ADULTS, LEARN BEST WHEN THEY ARE ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN THE WORLD AROUND THEM. WE THEREFORE BEGIN EACH STUDY WITH THE CHILDREN'S KNOWLEDGE AND THEIR QUESTIONS. OUR EDUCATION ALLOWS EACH CHILD TO LEARN AT THEIR OWN PACE, AND TO PURSUE PARTICULAR PASSIONS WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF A COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS. ALL OF THE ENJOYMENT, ENRICHMENT, AND CHALLENGE WORKING WITH OTHERS ARE PART OF THE EXPERIENCE OF EVERY CCS GRADUATE.
