The true benchmark of success for CKACS is measured by the success of its students. A student's success requires not only a committed team of teachers but a committed and interested groups of parents. Back to School Night as well as Open House are held in the evening and provide parents with an opportunity to visit their child's classrooms and become acquainted with the instructional programs. Back to School Night is held in Fall, and Open House is held in Spring. In addition, parents are encouraged to visit the school at any time. All visitors must check in at the CKACS office before going to the classroom. Visitors are also encouraged to attend any other school activity.
Teamwork has always been and will always be a hallmark of success for CKACS. The exterior responsibilities of growing a private school are achieved under the leadership of the Board of Director's and with the enthusuastic contibution of the parent's. Each family is required to commit 30 hours of service to the school per year.
