Mini-term has been a beloved CCS tradition since it first began in January 1972. Each year, it stands out as a highlight for both students and faculty, offering unique opportunities for learning, service, and growth.

Mini-term allows us to offer a wide variety of electives that wouldn’t normally be possible in a small school setting. Students enjoy exploring new interests, serving others, and building meaningful relationships, while faculty appreciate the chance to teach in different disciplines and connect with students in fresh ways.

This special opportunity reflects our school’s Six Distinctives by encouraging spiritual growth, fostering multi-age relationships, and helping students discover more about themselves in new environments.

  • High School Mini-Term: Students participate for eight consecutive days beginning the first week after Christmas break. (Three summer Mini-term courses are offered in June.)
  • Middle School Mini-Term: Students select two classes that meet during three morning and afternoon sessions in the first week after Christmas break.
  • Elementary School Mini-Term: Over three days, students receive six one-hour-long mini-term experiences, learning more about themselves and each other in a variety of enriching opportunities.

At every level, Mini-term creates space for students to strengthen their faith while trying something new.
