Happy 100th Day of School! January 15th marked the 100th day of school for CCS-A students! All campuses celebrated with fun “100”- themed activities and events. For our kindergarten students, this is an especially big accomplishment. To celebrate completing their first-ever 100 days of school, they had a “100 Day Fashion Show”. In preparation, each student decorated a shirt with 100 of their favorite things. The day ended with them walking the runway, showing off their unique and creative shirts. From flowers to buttons to hearts and even jellybeans, our students showed off both their creativity and their pride in completing 100 days of school. Congratulations to all for reaching this milestone! We can’t wait to see where the rest of the school year will take us. Check out pictures from the fashion shows below: **************
Another Decade of Leland Excellence Exciting news for the CCS-America community: CCS-Leland has been granted a ten-year charter renewal by the NC Charter School Review Board, effective July 1st, 2025! This renewal follows a thorough evaluation of CCS-Leland’s academic performance, financial responsibility, and commitment to the CCS-A mission. It ensures that CCS-Leland will continue to provide classical education to Leland and the surrounding areas for the next decade, and further solidifies the CCS-A network as a leader in classical education in North Carolina. “We are incredibly proud of this accomplishment, but not necessarily surprised,” said CCS-Leland Headmaster Laurie Benton. “Our classical curriculum clearly supports student success both in and out of the classroom. This renewal confirms the strength of our network, the effectiveness of our curriculum, and the dedication of our teachers, staff, and families.” Here’s to the next decade of excellence at CCS-Leland! **************
Snow Days for CCS-A Last Tuesday night, a heavy snow fell over all four CCS-A campuses and their surrounding communities. A historic winter storm brought up to 6 inches of snow to our area. Wednesday morning, we woke up to a beautiful winter wonderland! While our students stayed on track with their studies and worked hard on their remote schoolwork, they also made the most of these rare snow days and had some fun. They went sledding, had snowball fights, made snow angels, and even built snowmen. We loved seeing our students having fun in the winter weather. We hope everyone enjoyed the snow and the extra time spent together as a family! Visit the links below to see how each campus enjoyed the snow days (and to share your own snow day pictures!): **************
