Our Programs

We are very grateful for the amazing foundation both of our children have gotten at CMS; Our daughter is truly a world citizen in her actions and intentions, and our son surprises us often with his sense of responsibility and care for the people and world around him.

As we wrap up another incredible year, we just want to say—thank you! From the first-day jitters to the end-of-year celebrations, it’s been a journey full of growth, joy, and memorable moments. To our students, families, and staff: you’ve brought kindness, positive energy, and enthusiasm to everything we’ve done. We couldn’t have done it without you! Now it’s time to close the books and soak up some sunshine. Have a fun, safe, and well-deserved summer break. We can’t wait to see you next year for more adventures!
